Question 9213 — commerce and crafts

Summary

Ms. Mathilde Feld alerts the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty, responsible for commerce, crafts, small and medium-sized businesses and the social and solidarity economy, on the economic consequences induced by the upcoming ban on trimethylbenzoyl diphenylphosphine oxide (TPO) in products used by nail professionals. THE European Regulation (EU) 2025/877, published on May 12, 2025, prohibits the use of TPO in cosmetic products from September 1, 2025, due to its classification as a reproductive toxicant. If this regulatory decision is part of a legitimate and necessary logic of protecting public health, it nevertheless leads to worrying economic effects for small craft businesses in the aesthetics and nail industry which should be supported in this transition. Indeed, many professionals have, in good faith, stocked up on products containing TPO to cover their needs throughout the year. As the new regulations do not provide for any transition period for the disposal of these stocks, they must be withdrawn from use and, in most cases, destroyed, from September 1, 2025. This This situation creates a risk of significant financial loss for small structures that are already economically weakened, without their responsibility being able to be engaged in the genesis of this constraint. Also, she asks it if it intends to support the professionals concerned in the face of this regulatory transition, in particular by considering a compensation or compensation mechanism for losses linked to stocks purchased before adoption. of the European regulation.
