Regulatory Documents

The Statute of the Bulgarian National Association of Essential Oils, Perfumery and Cosmetics (BNAEOPC) is the main document regulating the structure, management and principles of operation of BNAEOPC.

All groups of BNAEOPC members declare in writing that they accept the Statutes of BNAEOPC, the Regulations for admission and dismissal of members of BNAEOPC, the Code of Ethics of BNAEOPC and other acts of the governing bodies of the association, taken within their powers.

With its Code of Ethics BNAEOPC establishes the principles of professional ethics, equality and fair competition in the market behavior of each member of BNAEOPC.

The Code of Ethics aims to create conditions for strengthening the authority of BNAEOPC as a voluntary branch organization of companies that strictly comply with the laws in force in the country, are loyal to their partners and guarantee the quality of products and services.

The Code of Ethics is based on the readiness of its members to work in accordance with good practices and ethics in carrying out their business activities.

The policy of BNAEOPC and its members is to comply with the principles lying down in current legislation, including competition law. Members agree to comply fully with all legislation, this Code of Ethics and the internal rules of BNAEOPC.

The Internal Rules for Exchange of Information regulate the activities related to the exchange of information between the members of BNAEOPC, in order to ensure the observance of the principles of fair and effective competition between them and to avoid any anti-competitive results in the implementation of the activities of the association.

The internal rules for information exchange are an integral part of the Statutes of BNAEOPC.

The European cosmetics industry has always been concerned with and committed to the highest standards when it comes to end-users, as well as to the production of cosmetics and personal care products. It works actively to promote best practices in cosmetic advertising. This is in response to consumer concerns about the potential adverse effects that cosmetics advertising could have on people and society as a whole.

The guidelines demonstrate the industry’s commitment to accountability standards, while balancing and reflecting the views of the various stakeholders involved in the design process. Among them are representatives of the advertising industry, European institutions, the self-regulatory network and NGOs. Their significant contribution sets out the challenges to be addressed and how to achieve this.
