Ukraine launches electronic cosmetics registry

An electronic notification system for cosmetic products has been launched in Ukraine, creating a single digital product registry and bringing national approaches closer to European safety standards.

Functions of the electronic system

Before the introduction of this platform, notification of cosmetics was not carried out centrally, and products reached store shelves without a unified record.

From now on, manufacturers and import companies are required to enter detailed information about their products into the system.

The launch of this system is another step toward Ukraine’s full integration into the European market and safety standards. Thanks to digital tools, we gain a transparent and unified process for accounting for cosmetic products. This not only protects consumers but also creates clear and predictable rules for businesses

– Mariia Karchevych, Deputy Minister of Health for Digital Development

In the first phase, users will be able to register a responsible person and company employees, notify products, log changes to records, and generate certificates for notified products without disclosing trade secrets.

Plans for government agencies

In the future, tools will be added to the system for government institutions that carry out toxicological control so they can promptly provide doctors with data on the composition of cosmetic products.

  • On December 1, the Ministry of Health announced that, starting January 1, 2026, the preventive vaccination schedule will change and will include mandatory vaccination against 11 infectious diseases.

EU Against Google: Why the Latest Fine Could Change More Than Previous Ones

# European Regulators Target Google Again — This Time Over Digital Markets Act Violations. What's Behind the Accusations and Why It Matters Beyond the Corporation European regulators have renewed their scrutiny of Google, this time focusing on alleged violations of the Digital Markets Act. The charges underscore Brussels' increasingly aggressive stance on big tech monopolies and what officials say are anticompetitive practices. The accusations center on how Google leverages its dominance across multiple digital services — from search to advertising to mobile platforms — to disadvantage competitors. Regulators claim the company is using its market power in ways that stifle innovation and limit consumer choice. The case carries significance far beyond Google itself. It signals how the EU is attempting to enforce its landmark Digital Markets Act, legislation designed to curb the gatekeeping power of tech giants. A potential penalty could set precedent for how other large technology companies face similar scrutiny. For consumers and smaller tech firms, the outcome could reshape the digital landscape by creating more room for competition. For Google, fines and operational restrictions could fundamentally alter its business model in Europe, the world's most stringent regulatory market. The case also reflects a broader geopolitical divide, with the EU pursuing a regulatory approach that contrasts sharply with the lighter-touch oversight favored in the United States.
