]]> Comment on Local Manufacturing? Watch out for the EU. by Mark Pond http://new.spokanelibrary.org/blog/business/2008/05/01/local-manufacturing-watch-out-for-the-eu/#comment-18 Mark Pond Wed, 21 May 2008 08:53:30 +0000 http://new.spokanelibrary.org/blog/business/2008/05/01/local-manufacturing-watch-out-for-the-eu/#comment-18 The European Commission has launched a new online database of the ingredients used in cosmetic products making it easier for companies to find up-to-date information on substances needed to develop new cosmetics or to improve existing ones. The new database, called ‘CosIng’ (COSmetics INGredients), replaces the old pdf format list which was one of the most consulted documents on the DG Enterprise website. Using CosIng, businesses and authorities can now check if and how a substance is regulated at EU level, from when and how it has been regulated through the years and what are the opinions of the Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCP) which form the basis of this legislation. Companies will no longer have to search through various documents to get the full picture.

And indeed, the SBDC is a great place to turn for additional assistance. At www.spokanelibrary.org/business under the heading of Local Agencies, we have put together a list of organizations that provide business assistance in one form or another. This list includes the local SBDC. I will look into the SBDC's CNIC and see if it would be a good addition to the library's list of resources. Thanks again! Charles –

You can find your local SBDC at SBA.gov. This will put you in touch with competent business counselors who are dedicated to your needs. It will also put you in touch with the Small Business Development Center National Information Clearinghouse. This entity provides small business research free of charge to counselors for clients, so you must see a SBDC counselor to you this free information entity. They reside in San Antoniop Texas at UTSA.
