I move amendment No. 7:

In page 5, to delete lines 6 and 7.

This amendment relates specifically to sunscreen. From what I gather, few sunscreens contain microbeads. In fact, it relates to only a small portion of the sunscreen market. Let us consider the discussions on previous amendments on water soluble materials and wipe-on and wipe-off processes. Sunscreen tends not to be wiped off. It comes off by swimming or showering afterwards. In a way, it is separate to the argument on dealing with wipe-on wipe-off creams or substances. We question why sunscreen should be exempted. We would like to see the amendment accepted. It is important.
