Parliament finally approved the Swissness model, which we have always supported. It forms the basis for our industry ordinance that we are going to present to the Federal Council. This is an important step – one could maybe even call it a small milestone – toward strengthening the Swiss cosmetics industry in Switzerland and abroad. It is also an excellent model for other industries. Both importers and Swiss manufacturers were faced with many new EU directives that came into force (Cosmetics Directive, REACH, GHS/CLP). SKW repeatedly campaigned for a reduction of technical barriers to trade and held information events on the issue. Switzerland signed a pioneering free trade agreement with China. This country, in particular, never ceases to surprise us with new regulations that contradict European regulations (animal testing, free sales certificates). The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) recently invited SKW to participate in the negotiations of the industry-specific agreements that form part of the free trade agreement. This has been a considerable challenge for SKW that has given us the opportunity to include our point of view in various dossiers, thus providing us with a strong position. This is one of the most important tasks of every industry association.
Under Dr. Bernard Cloëtta's management, the Administrative Office once again achieved its targets and strengthened SKW's position in political circles and among stakeholders. I would like to sincerely thank our team at the Administrative Office in Zurich for their commitment and efforts! We have a voice and that is how it should be! The topics of today will be a talking point for years to come. The result of the latest vote on the free movement of persons will also be problematic for us as we depend on top foreign employees. We will keep a close eye on the discussion about the distribution of the contingents. In other words, we are constantly faced with new challenges. We will use all our resources to tackle these challenges in the interest of a strong Swiss cosmetics and detergents industry, working closely together with our international partners. This global cooperation is becoming increasingly important to us and we will increase our activities in this field.
Foreword
The previous year once again presented us with significant challenges, showing clearly, as in the past, that a solid network and mutual representation are essential to drawing the attention of various stakeholders.
Our priority is to create benefit for all.

Dossiers
Swiss Law Swiss laws differ from those applicable in the EU and may tax imported products. This is the case, for instance, when a manufacturer has to use wording or labelling specially designed for the Swiss market only. Both industry and politicians are therefore keen to adjust Swiss national laws to match EU law. Trade barriers remain despite introducing the Cassisde-Dijon principle and amending the law. The fact that Switzerland is not a member of the EU and the resulting structural differences (access to EU notification and product licensing institutions) creates additional disadvantages in terms of export, particularly for Swiss manufacturers.
SKW Annual Report 2013 Dossiers 4
Revision of Chemicals Law
In 2013, the Swiss authorities continued to harmonise Swiss laws with their EU counterparts as best as possible (amendments to the Chemicals Act, Foodstuffs Act, Federal Act on Technical Barriers to Trade). However, the law would have to be amended extensively and treaties would have to be signed with the EU to fully harmonise the entire legal system.
Appendix 7 of the Chemicals Act (ChemV) contains a list of «Substances of Very High Concern» (SVHC). On 19 December 2012, further 54 SVHC were identified for the European listing and Appendix 7 ChemV was amended as a result. The amended version of the Act came into effect on 1 August 2013. Appendix 1.17 of the Chemicals Risk Reduction Act (ChemRRV) stipulates that the registration office may, upon request and in agreement with FOEN, FOPH and SECO, approve further temporary exceptions of the prohibitions imposed on the circulation and use of these substances in Switzerland. The requirements for the application are the same as in the EU.
the new EU Cosmetics Regulation. The National Council is currently discussing the LMG model. Enactment is not expected until 2015. Until then, EU law shall be enacted on the statutory level, to the extent possible.
Revision of Trademark and Coat of Arms Protection Act (Swissness Model) «We greatly value our
By approving the Swissness model, Parliament created the basis for increasing the protection of the «Swiss» designation of origin and the Swiss cross in Switzerland, even with respect to law enactments abroad. SKW has supported this model from the very beginning and developed a «Cosmetics» industry ordinance that still requires approval from the Federal Council.
cooperation with SKW and hope to continue this positive work with the new Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO).» Elisabeth Nellen-Regli, dipl. pharm. ETH Head of Foodstuffs and Nutrition, Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office, FSVO
The revision of the «Swissness» law was approved by Parliament on 21 June 2013. The referendum period expired on 10 October 2013.
Revision of Food and Cosmetics Law
On 10 July 2013, the new EU Cosmetics Regulation came into effect. This widened the gap between European and Swiss law. The Federal Council therefore started a complete revision of the Foodstuffs Act. However, enactment of the new law and the relevant regulations is not expected before 2015.
The Federal Council is now going to develop execution orders prior to these new regulations coming into effect. Three key topics have to be defined in greater detail in the ordinance: • Criteria for defining Swiss origin • Register of geographic information • Deletion process in case of non-use The consultation process for the ordinance package is expected to take place in the summer of 2014, meaning that the entire «Swissness» package, including the «Cosmetics» industry ordinance, should come into effect before the end of 2015.

Meetings and Events
Compliance with Anti-Trust Law Strict compliance rules apply for all SKW events. This ensures that participants can enjoy this unique knowledge platform and the Association's network in a safe environment. Compliance with anti-trust law at all times is crucial for an association and its members.
Thomas Früh, intracosmed ag Urnäsch, was elected as President.
Technical Commissions Experience Symposium (ERFA TK)
A meeting between the members of the Technical Commissions took place on 5 June 2013 at the Volkshaus in Zurich. It was very well attended by approximately 40 participants from Switzerland and abroad. After an information round, the participants exchanged their experiences in technical matters. The focus was on the speech held by Dr. Christian Gründling, the Managing Director of FCIO, about «Update EU/Swiss Cosmetics and Chemicals Laws».
Managing Board Working Group Professional Building Cleaning The Managing Board met on 21 March and 27 November 2013. In addition to the usual statutory agenda items (finances, General Assembly preparations, elections), the statistics and strategic objectives were mainly discussed.
The meeting of the Working Group Professional Building Cleaning was held on 17 April 2013. Key topics were new developments in Swiss and EU Chemicals Laws on REACH and GHS/CLP.
General Assembly Working Group Professional Hair Care The General Assembly was held on 24 April 2013 at the Widder Hotel, Zurich.

At the elections for the renewal of the entire Managing Board for the period from 20132016, Anne Guichard, L’Oréal, Alexander Kühnen, Unilever and Christoph Steindorf, Diversey, were elected in addition to the existing members.
In the meetings on 4 June and 13 November 2013, changes to the Cosmetics Act, market analyses for professional products and joint projects with CoiffureSUISSE were discussed.
Working Group Swissness
The Working Group Swissness met on 18 October 2013. The participants discussed SKW's «Cosmetics» industry ordinance and the «Genuine Swiss Cosmetics» (GSC) project. The company representatives unanimously approved the draft industry ordinance. This ordinance on the new trademark protection law stipulates the requirements for the use of the «Swiss made» designation of origin and similar labels for cosmetics. The next step will be to obtain approval from the Federal Council. The ordinance is expected to come into effect in 2015, together with the additional ordinances on the new law. Project GSC was suspended for the time being.
Working Group Communication (AGK)
The newly founded Working Group Communication met on 5 June 2013 at the Volkshaus in Zurich. At a plenary session, the member companies' communication officers received information on the reorganisation of SKW's Communication department and the resulting new communication strategy.

Network «SKW is a strong industry
Human Relations One of the key tasks of any association is to develop and maintain a network with persons and organisations at a national and international level. SKW focuses extensively on this task.
Forum – cooperation inkey. The result are positive solutions for both industry and consumers.» Michel Rudin Managing Director,
The concerns of the industry in various legislative areas and enforcement of laws have been presented and justified in various meetings with Federal Agencies:
The Managing Director of SKW attended meetings of the Economiesuisse working groups regarding the topics anti-trust law, the free trade agreement and consumer issues.
• Federal Office for Public Health (FOPH): Questions regarding the topic REACH/GHS Switzerland (survey of SKW members) as well as the current revision of the Foodstuffs and Cosmetics Act. SKW is an official partner of the GHS campaign of the Federation «Genau geschaut, gut geschützt» (closely watched - well protected).
In addition, informative meetings took place with industrial associations with similar interests, such as «scienceindustries» (chemicals, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology) and VSLF (lacquers and paints).
• Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN): Questions regarding the revision and enforcement of the Chemicals Act and the impending revision of the Environmental Protection Act. Meeting SKW – BAFU – A.I.S.E. on 26 August 2013 on the involvement of FOEN in the EU Commission's «Product Environmental Footprint» (PEF) project. • State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO): Questions regarding trade barriers and the application of the Cassis-de-Dijon principle as well as the free trade agreement with China and its effects on cosmetics and detergents exports.

Consumer concerns regarding the industry as well as joint projects were discussed in two meetings with the Consumer Forum. The Professional Hair Care Working Group is in close cooperation with coiffureSUISSE for joint projects, such as the implementation and sponsorship of events (trainee hairdressing, hairdresser national teams and «hairdays 2013»). For exporting firms, mainly SKW's contacts with Switzerland Global Enterprises (formerly OSEC) and the Association Swiss Export hold significance. At the joint speech of the Presidents of SKW, SEPAWA Schweiz and SwissSCC on 22 November 2013, it was agreed to coordinate the schedules of industry events and seminars and to make them available to all members of these associations.
Networking with International Associations and Organisations
As full member of the European umbrella organisations A.I.S.E. (International Association for Soaps, Detergents and Maintenance Products) and Cosmetics Europe (formerly Colipa) SKW very well networked on the European and international levels. The Managing Director attended the General Assemblies of both Associations. A particularly close cooperation exists with the German and Austrian partner associations IKW and FCIO. Issues regarding legislation, communication and technical innovations were discussed and coordinated at the D-A-C-H Coordination Meeting in Zurich on 27 August 2013. SKW's Managing Director is also invited to attend the meetings of the committees of IKW.
«Together with SKW, we are searching for solutions to reduce technical trade barriers for our export industry.» Sébastien Morard, MSc (LSE)
We have strong contacts with the American Cosmetics Association Personal Care Products Council (PCPC). SKW has access to the «International Regulatory Database» of PCPC. This allows us to provide great support to our exporting members in this important area. PCPC organises annual meetings, which are attended by representatives of companies and organisations from all over the world. SKW also maintains close contact with PCPC in the area of communication as news often make their way to Europe from the USA.
Nichttarifarische Massnahmen, State Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO
SKW pays particular attention to the development of legislation in China (e.g. animal testing and free sale certificates) and maintains good contacts with the Chinese authorities (CFDA). SKW supports the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) in its negotiations of the detailed agreements that form part of the free trade agreement with China.

Communication
Communication An association can only achieve its goals if it is recognised by politicians, the media and NGOs and if it can voice the industry's issues in unison and in the right place. SKW reorganised and expanded its Communication department for this purpose.
Communication Reorganisation
In 2013, SKW significantly improved and expanded its Communication department. In addition to existing internal instances, SKW's public relations, website and publications were improved considerably from a professional point of view thanks to our cooperation with Carolin Kiefer, an external communications consultant. Our contacts to the member companies' communication officers was intensified. In a first step, a meeting was held for the newly established Working Group Communication. A steering committee from this group will support the Administrative Office in its daily work.

Public Relations
Consumer Information
In 2013, various media again inquired about market trends, market data, matters of legislation, law enforcement and ingredients. Dayto-day media work is an important element of the association's work.
In 2013, SKW published the following new consumer publications in the Cosmetics sector in the form of PDFs, downloads and website content:

Information to Members and Stakeholders
We are an industry association with a national and international network and extensive knowledge pool and in this capacity are able to provide our member companies with a comprehensive service package that makes membership a very attractive option for both international groups and Swiss manufacturers.
We are the first point of call for all legal and technical issues of our members. In addition, we receive various enquiries from consumers, companies, students, government agencies, NGOs and other associations and agencies on a daily basis.
Notifications to Members
We constantly inform our members by e-mail about new technological and legal developments at national and European levels. The main topics in legislative notifications were the Swiss Cosmetics Act, the Swiss Chemicals Act, the Federal Act on Technical Trade Obstacles and the revision of the Ordinance on the Incentive Tax on Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). Other topics included nanotechnology, biocidal products and Swissness. At international level, the main topics included information about REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation of Chemicals), GHS (Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals) and the EU CLP Regulations derived therefrom (Regulation on Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures) as well as the EC Cosmetics Directive and the EC Cosmetics Ordinance. SKW Annual Report 2013 Services 12
SKW continuously informs its members about projects and campaigns by the two European umbrella organisations A.I.S.E. and Cosmetics Europe.
We provide information on: • Legal regulations in Switzerland and the EU • Import regulations and registration of products in exporting countries • Swissness, regulation in Trademark and Coat of Arms Protection Act • Distinction between cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and Biocidal products • Consumer enquiries regarding the correct use of the products • Safety of certain ingredients • Warnings • Nano materials • Product labelling • Brands and products of our members • Market data • Sustainability As the industry's «mouthpiece», we can answer questions neutrally and/or we forward them to the competent persons or companies.
Information to International Companies and Organisations
Argus Online Media Monitoring and Press Review
Swiss law is often different to other countries. Many international corporations no longer have own legal and technical departments in Switzerland.
In addition to being connected to «ARGUS On-line Media Monitoring» with daily monitoring of media activities, our members also receive a weekly updated press review for the field cosmetics or detergent and cleaning agents.
This results in SKW receiving many direct enquiries from corporations or other foreign companies. We only provide information to companies that are members of their country's own association. This provides SKW members with the right to obtain information on legislation and registration rules in other countries in return. In Switzerland, the person responsible for circulating a product has the statutory obligation to impose his or her own controls. However, the notification requirement, as imposed in the EU, does not apply. SKW, in cooperation with the relevant law enforcement agencies, has published information for cosmetics products import and distribution companies. It includes advice on the requirements stipulated by the law enforcement agencies, thus assisting importers with the implementation of statutory requirements.
Product Export and Trade Shows
Our 50 Swiss manufacturers require special assistance with regard to exports. They may join the SKW Experience Symposium «Export» and have access to SKW's «Regulatory International» network.

Sustainability
Our Commitment
Industry Projects
Everyone is talking about sustainability. Today, it no longer suffices to publicise great intentions in glossy brochures and on attractive websites. The public wants to see facts and figures. The companies in the cosmetics and detergents industry have realised this trend and teamed up at European level to participate in tangible sustainability projects.
Sustainability is a key issue both in the cosmetics and detergent and cleaning agents industry. For us, sustainability is a symbiosis between economic success, social justice and environmental protection. Sustainable business is always based on economic success. A company can only live up to these important responsibilities if it is profitable. Our members are aware of this responsibility and volunteer to act in a sustainable manner. Companies are responsible for developing, designing and implementing their sustainability activities and all related communication. As an association, we encourage the exchange of experiences among our members and support the sustainability measures implemented by our European umbrella organisations such as the «Charter for Sustainable Cleaning» by A.I.S.E. We also inform the consumer and environmental organisations as well as traders about the industry's projects and issues, thus encouraging dialogue so that you may also contribute to the topic of sustainability. We also support other sustainability projects by A.I.S.E. In August, we sent a press release to the Swiss media in order to promote the «Laundry Sustainability Projects 2» and the «Laundry Sustainability Projects for Heavy Duty Liquids». We also introduced these projects during talks with the authorities and NGOs.
SKW Annual Report 2013 Sustainability 16
The number of members has increased significantly in recent years. In 2005 we had 59 members and 86 members in 2013. The organisation quota has now reached over 90 percent. This significant representativeness is an important argument for the association's work. Otherwise politics, public agencies, stakeholders, and media do not take you seriously.
