lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I support both the line of the proposals which have come from our colleague Mrs Roth-Behrendt and the objective which many people in Parliament have been trying to achieve for the past ten years. No other issue has taken Parliament so long to deal with as that of animal testing in the matter of cosmetic products. So I think the message that should go back to the Member States is that this Parliament believes that, until we get serious, the industry will not get truly serious. I accept that there are a large number of areas where there is cause for concern in terms of medical research and extremely difficult and serious tests for which no valid alternatives have yet been produced. But I remain convinced that, unless we are able to send a clear signal by reasserting the position we took at first reading, there will not be that incentive that comes from the clear knowledge that these sanctions are there and will be implemented. The test ban and the marketing ban have not been complied with. We cannot afford further delays. I would say to everyone, including the Member States who tried very hard to bring us a common position that we could accept, we still have to try harder. The answer is to send a signal at second reading, so that the rapporteur and our colleagues of all parties have the strongest possible negotiating position when we come to one of the most serious processes of conciliation we have ever had in this Parliament."@en1
