dates added to the text: 2025-05-01, 2026-05-01
Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text
A new sentence has been added to the introductory notes of the Annex stating a further market restriction, worded in the same style as the preceding sale-restriction notes but referencing dates of 1 May 2025 and 1 May 2026.
This added sentence does not appear in the earlier version of the Annex, whose introductory notes end with the restriction dated 1 February 2025 and 1 November 2025.
Both versions continue with the same long numbered list of substances, and the visible text is truncated before any difference in that list can be seen.

This sentence does not appear in the BEFORE text, which ends its sequence of transitional statements with the 3 June 2022 date.
The text shown is truncated before the end of the substance list in both versions, so any further differences beyond the visible portion cannot be described.

The sources name different kinds of change — they agree this provision changed and disagree about how: the text comparison called it MODIFIED, the EU's own amendment metadata called it MODIFIED and the amending act's instructions called it DELETED.

Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text
Entry 395 in the list now names the substance as Hydroxy-8-quinoline and its sulphate, bis(8-hydroxyquinolinium) sulphate, except for the uses of the sulphate provided for in entry 51 of Annex III, whereas the earlier version simply named it as Hydroxy-8-quinoline and its sulphate.
The CAS number listed for that entry also changed from 148-24-2 to 148-24-3.
Both texts were truncated before reaching the end of the list, so any further differences beyond entry 395 cannot be described.

Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text
A new introductory statement has been added specifying that from 22 November 2019 hair dye, eyebrow dye and eyelash dye products containing certain substances shall not be placed on the Union market, and that from 22 February 2020 such products shall not be made available on the Union market.
Entry 395 for Hydroxy-8-quinoline and its sulphate has been changed: the CAS number 148-24-3 is replaced with 148-24-2 for the base substance, the numbers are reformatted onto separate lines, and the qualifying phrase referencing an exception for uses under Annex III reference No 51 has been removed.
The text shown is truncated in both versions, so any further differences in the remaining entries cannot be described here.

dates added to the text: 2019-05-01, 2019-08-01
Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text
The AFTER text inserts two additional sentences stating that from 1 May 2019 cosmetic products containing that substance shall not be placed on the Union market, and that from 1 August 2019 such products shall not be made available on the Union market, repeated twice, following the existing sentence about the 23 August 2019 and 23 August 2021 dates.
The BEFORE text contains only the single pair of sentences referencing 23 August 2019 and 23 August 2021, without any reference to the 1 May 2019 or 1 August 2019 dates.
The remainder of the numbered substance list shown is identical between the two texts, and the provided excerpt of both versions is truncated before the end of the annex.

Applies from: no date changed
Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text
Both versions consist of the same numbered list of prohibited substances, and across the visible portion of the text the entries and their identifiers appear unchanged in substance.
The visible difference is one of formatting only, with the earlier text laid out as a multi-column table with each field on its own line, while the later text presents the same rows as run-on text with fields separated by spaces rather than line breaks.
Both excerpts are truncated before the end of the annex, so no comparison can be made about anything beyond the point where each text was cut off.

Not in every listWhat this means
Found in the text, but not every source lists it — the text comparison found this change; the EU's own amendment metadata does not list it. The source that does not name it is the EU's own amendment metadata. Both are shown; neither is overruled.
Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text
Within the visible portion of the text, the only detectable difference is the removal of a stray closing parenthesis after the entry for substance 433, Pseudoionone, which appears with the extra bracket in the earlier version and without it in the later version.
Both texts are truncated at the same later point, so no comparison can be made beyond entry 546 and any further differences in the omitted portion cannot be described.

Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text
Entry 167 was changed from a general reference to esters of 4-aminobenzoic acid with the free amino group, excluding an item in Annex VI, to a specific listing naming 4-Aminobenzoic acid and its esters with the free amino group, together with a CAS number and EC number.
Entry 450 was changed from covering verbena oil (Lippia citriodora Kunth.) when used as a fragrance ingredient to covering verbena essential oils (Lippia citriodora Kunth.) and derivatives other than absolute when used as a fragrance ingredient, and an EC number was added to that entry.
The remainder of the visible list is otherwise unchanged in substance, and the text provided is truncated before the end of the annex, so no further differences beyond these can be described.
