Konec poskusov na živalih v kozmetični industriji EU

[Mel]

Vsaj še 6 let so testiranja na živalih, žal, dovoljena:

1. The Cosmetics Directive foresees a regulatory framework with the aim of phasing out animal testing. It establishes a prohibition to test finished cosmetic products and cosmetic ingredients on animals (testing ban), and a prohibition to market in the European Community, finished cosmetic products and ingredients included in cosmetic products which were tested on animals (marketing ban)

2. The testing ban on finished cosmetic products applies since 11 September 2004, whereas the testing ban on ingredients or combination of ingredients will apply step by step as soon as alternative methods are validated and adopted, but with a maximum cut-off date of 6 years after entry into force of the Directive, i.e., 11 March 2009, irrespective of the availability of alternative non-animal tests.

3. The marketing ban will apply step by step as soon as alternative methods are validated and adopted in EU legislation with due regard to the OECD validation process. This marketing ban will be introduced at the latest 6 years after entry into force of the Directive, i.e., 11 March 2009, for all human health effects with the exception of repeated-dose toxicity, reproductive toxicity and toxicokinetics. For these specific health effects, a deadline of 10 years after entry into force of the Directive is foreseen, i.e., 11 March 2013, irrespective of the availability of alternative non-animal tests.

Upam, da se ne bodo potem ponovno spomnili razlogov, zakaj niso uspeli uvesti alternativnih metod dovolj hitro. Poleg tega ostajajo vprašanja, kaj bo s sestavinami, ki se lahko uporabljajo tudi v zdravilih - ta namreč bodo testirana še naprej ...

to se nikoli in nikdar ne bo ustavilo.... mogoce boste za kozmetiko kej dosegli (ceprov mocno dvomim), ampak testiranja na zivalih v zdravstvene namene je pa popolnoma nemogoce ustavit.
zelo malo je ljudi na svetu ki bi izbrali zivljenje zivali namesto zdravila proti raku, aidsu in drugim smrtonosnim boleznim, pa tudi na splosno vsem zdravilom ki jih jemljejo.
