". – We wish to expand on our reasons for supporting the key principles of the Roth-Berendt report today. We believe it does a singular service by demonstrating to the Commission and the Member States the scale of public exasperation at the delays in phasing out live animal testing for cosmetic products. We are sure the Member States will note the emphatic majority expressed here. It is a vote to ban animal-tested products where alternative tests exist, to phase out animal tests over a 4-year period and to phase in a marketing ban in an agreed period thereafter.
We hope the industry in general will heed these proposals. Some of its leading practitioners already have. We understand that, of the principal tests, roughly one-third can now be done by alternative methods, one-third are modified and one-third await effective resolution. We believe our proposal will speed up the necessary research, if it is taken seriously. The industry has everything to gain from using its considerable resources to advance alternative testing, and not for expensive campaigns of procrastination. Similarly, its products will gain and not lose by being accurately labelled, so that the public is warned of possible allergens. We are convinced that today's vote is, in the long run, good for the health and profitability of the European cosmetics industry, as well as the public it serves."@en1
