The information which producers or distributors of cosmetic products covered by the amended Directive 76/768 are obliged to put on the product's container and packaging, save where it can be effectively conveyed by the use of pictogrammes or signs other than words, will be of no practical use unless it is given in a language which can be understood by the persons for whom it is intended (see, in relation to foodstuffs, Colim, cited above, paragraph 29).
