SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The purpose of the multilateral framework on the ICCR is to pave
the way for the removal of regulatory obstacles to international trade
while maintaining global consumer protection. The purpose of the
meeting is to invite public input on various topics pertaining to the
regulation of cosmetics. We may use this input to help us prepare for
the ICCR-11 meeting that will be held July 12-14, 2017, in Brasilia,
Brazil.
ICCR is a voluntary international group of cosmetics regulatory
authorities from Brazil, Canada, the European Union, Japan, and the
United States of America. These regulatory authority members will enter
into constructive dialogue with their relevant cosmetics industry trade
associations and public advocacy groups. Currently, the ICCR members
are: The Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency; Health Canada; the
European Commission Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry,
Entrepreneurship, and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises; the Ministry
of Health, Labor, and Welfare of Japan; and FDA. All decisions made by
consensus will be compatible with the laws, policies, rules,
regulations, and directives of the respective administrations and
governments. Members will implement and/or promote actions or documents
within their own jurisdictions and seek convergence of regulatory
policies and practices. Successful implementation will need input from
stakeholders.
II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Meeting
We will make the agenda for the public meeting available on the
Internet at http://www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/InternationalActivities/ICCR/default.htm. Depending on the number of requests for oral
presentations, we intend to have an agenda available by May 18, 2017.
