I move amendment No. 2:

In page 4, to delete lines 22 to 24 and substitute the following: "(1) A person shall not manufacture or place on the market a cosmetic product that contains microbeads in excess of the permitted concentration.".

These amendments are related in the sense they are trying to provide more clarity and strengthen the wording of this part of the legislation. If we leave this a little vague, it may be left open to interpretation that might be viewed as a possible loophole. This is about strengthening the legislation.
