Andrea Maltagliati is General Secretary of Brussels-based trade association European Federation for Cosmetic Ingredients (EFfCI). Here, Andrea talks to editor Tim Probert about the regulatory state of affairs ahead of EFfCI’s annual conference on 25-26 September

Member companies must be a producer or service provider in the cosmetics market with a European-based legal entity.
