Judgment_paragraph 23 · Fédération des entreprises de la beauté v Ministre des Affaires sociales, de la Santé et des Droits des femmes and Others (C-13/17)

23It should be recalled that, according to recital 4 of Regulation No 1223/2009, that regulation is intended comprehensively to harmonise the rules in the European Union in order to achieve an internal market for cosmetic products while ensuring a high level of protection of human health. To that end, Article 1 of that regulation establishes rules which must be complied with by any cosmetic product placed on the EU market. Consequently, a Member State cannot make the movement of cosmetic products subject to additional conditions (see, to that effect, judgment of 5 May 1993, Commission v France, C‑246/91, EU:C:1993:174, paragraph 7).
