Parliament finally approved the Swissness
model, which we have always supported. It
forms the basis for our industry ordinance
that we are going to present to the Federal
Council. This is an important step – one could
maybe even call it a small milestone – toward
strengthening the Swiss cosmetics industry in
Switzerland and abroad. It is also an excellent model for other industries. Both importers and Swiss manufacturers were faced with
many new EU directives that came into force
(Cosmetics Directive, REACH, GHS/CLP). SKW
repeatedly campaigned for a reduction of
technical barriers to trade and held information events on the issue.
Switzerland signed a pioneering free trade
agreement with China. This country, in particular, never ceases to surprise us with new
regulations that contradict European regulations (animal testing, free sales certificates).
The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs
(SECO) recently invited SKW to participate
in the negotiations of the industry-specific
agreements that form part of the free trade
agreement. This has been a considerable challenge for SKW that has given us the opportunity to include our point of view in various
dossiers, thus providing us with a strong position. This is one of the most important tasks
of every industry association.
Under Dr. Bernard Cloëtta's management,
the Administrative Office once again achieved
its targets and strengthened SKW's position
in political circles and among stakeholders.
I would like to sincerely thank our team at the
Administrative Office in Zurich for their commitment and efforts!
We have a voice and that is how it should be!
The topics of today will be a talking point for
years to come. The result of the latest vote
on the free movement of persons will also be
problematic for us as we depend on top foreign employees. We will keep a close eye on
the discussion about the distribution of the
contingents.
In other words, we are constantly faced with
new challenges. We will use all our resources
to tackle these challenges in the interest of
a strong Swiss cosmetics and detergents industry, working closely together with our international partners. This global cooperation
is becoming increasingly important to us and
we will increase our activities in this field.
Foreword
The previous year once again presented us
with significant challenges, showing clearly,
as in the past, that a solid network and mutual representation are essential to drawing
the attention of various stakeholders.
Our priority is to create benefit for all.

Dossiers
Swiss Law
Swiss laws differ from those
applicable in the EU and may
tax imported products.
This is the case, for instance,
when a manufacturer has to
use wording or labelling specially designed for the Swiss
market only.
Both industry and politicians
are therefore keen to adjust
Swiss national laws to match
EU law. Trade barriers remain
despite introducing the Cassisde-Dijon principle and amending the law.
The fact that Switzerland
is not a member of the EU
and the resulting structural differences (access to EU
notification and product licensing institutions) creates
additional disadvantages in
terms of export, particularly
for Swiss manufacturers.

Revision of Chemicals Law
In 2013, the Swiss authorities continued
to harmonise Swiss laws with their EU
counterparts as best as possible (amendments to the Chemicals Act, Foodstuffs
Act, Federal Act on Technical Barriers to
Trade). However, the law would have
to be amended extensively and treaties
would have to be signed with the EU to
fully harmonise the entire legal system.
Appendix 7 of the Chemicals Act (ChemV)
contains a list of «Substances of Very High
Concern» (SVHC).
On 19 December 2012, further 54 SVHC were
identified for the European listing and Appendix 7 ChemV was amended as a result. The
amended version of the Act came into effect
on 1 August 2013.
Appendix 1.17 of the Chemicals Risk Reduction Act (ChemRRV) stipulates that the registration office may, upon request and in agreement with FOEN, FOPH and SECO, approve
further temporary exceptions of the prohibitions imposed on the circulation and use of
these substances in Switzerland. The requirements for the application are the same as in
the EU.

Enactment is not expected until 2015. Until
then, EU law shall be enacted on the statutory
level, to the extent possible.

By approving the Swissness model, Parliament created the basis for increasing
the protection of the «Swiss» designation

abroad. SKW has supported this model
from the very beginning and developed
a «Cosmetics» industry ordinance that still
requires approval from the Federal Council.

work with the new Federal

Office (FSVO).»

dipl. pharm. ETH
Head of Foodstuffs and Nutrition,
Federal Food Safety and Veterinary
Office, FSVO
The revision of the «Swissness» law was approved by Parliament on 21 June 2013. The
referendum period expired on 10 October
2013.
Revision of Food and
Cosmetics Law
On 10 July 2013, the new EU Cosmetics
Regulation came into effect. This widened
the gap between European and Swiss law.
The Federal Council therefore started a
complete revision of the Foodstuffs Act.
However, enactment of the new law and
the relevant regulations is not expected
before 2015.
The Federal Council is now going to develop
execution orders prior to these new regulations coming into effect. Three key topics
have to be defined in greater detail in the ordinance:
• Criteria for defining Swiss origin
• Register of geographic information
• Deletion process in case of non-use
The consultation process for the ordinance
package is expected to take place in the summer
of 2014, meaning that the entire «Swissness»
package, including the «Cosmetics» industry
ordinance, should come into effect before the
end of 2015.

The company representatives unanimously
approved the draft industry ordinance. This
ordinance on the new trademark protection
law stipulates the requirements for the use of
the «Swiss made» designation of origin and
similar labels for cosmetics. The next step will
be to obtain approval from the Federal Council. The ordinance is expected to come into
effect in 2015, together with the additional
ordinances on the new law.
Project GSC was suspended for the time being.

achieve its goals if it is recognised by politicians, the media
and NGOs and if it can voice
the industry's issues in unison
and in the right place. SKW
reorganised and expanded its
Communication department
for this purpose.
Communication Reorganisation
In 2013, SKW significantly improved and expanded its Communication department.
In addition to existing internal instances,
SKW's public relations, website and publications were improved considerably from a

Argus Online Media Monitoring
and Press Review
Swiss law is often different to other countries.
Many international corporations no longer
have own legal and technical departments in
Switzerland.
In addition to being connected to «ARGUS
On-line Media Monitoring» with daily monitoring of media activities, our members also
receive a weekly updated press review for the
field cosmetics or detergent and cleaning
agents.
This results in SKW receiving many direct
enquiries from corporations or other foreign
companies.
We only provide information to companies
that are members of their country's own association. This provides SKW members with the
right to obtain information on legislation and
registration rules in other countries in return.
In Switzerland, the person responsible for circulating a product has the statutory obligation to impose his or her own controls. However, the notification requirement, as imposed
in the EU, does not apply. SKW, in cooperation with the relevant law enforcement agencies, has published information for cosmetics
products import and distribution companies.
It includes advice on the requirements stipulated by the law enforcement agencies, thus
assisting importers with the implementation of
statutory requirements.

Sustainability
Our Commitment
Industry Projects
Everyone is talking about sustainability. Today, it no longer
suffices to publicise great intentions in glossy brochures
and on attractive websites. The
public wants to see facts and
figures. The companies in the
cosmetics and detergents industry have realised this trend
and teamed up at European
level to participate in tangible
sustainability projects.
Sustainability is a key issue both in the cosmetics and detergent and cleaning agents industry.
For us, sustainability is a symbiosis between
economic success, social justice and environmental protection. Sustainable business is always based on economic success. A company
can only live up to these important responsibilities if it is profitable.
Our members are aware of this responsibility
and volunteer to act in a sustainable manner.
Companies are responsible for developing,
designing and implementing their sustainability activities and all related communication.
As an association, we encourage the exchange
of experiences among our members and support the sustainability measures implemented
by our European umbrella organisations such
as the «Charter for Sustainable Cleaning» by
A.I.S.E. We also inform the consumer and environmental organisations as well as traders
about the industry's projects and issues, thus
encouraging dialogue so that you may also
contribute to the topic of sustainability.
We also support other sustainability projects
by A.I.S.E. In August, we sent a press release
to the Swiss media in order to promote the
«Laundry Sustainability Projects 2» and the
«Laundry Sustainability Projects for Heavy Duty
Liquids».
We also introduced these projects during talks
with the authorities and NGOs.
