".
The European Parliament has fought for the Directive on Cosmetics to be extended and deepened, especially in the field of testing on animals. Parliament was therefore calling for: a ban on animal testing from 2004; a ban on the marketing of products that have been tested on animals five years after the adoption of this directive and the promotion of alternative testing methods that do not involve experiments on animals. Unfortunately, the original position of the European Commission was to advocate a ban on animal testing in the European area rather than a ban on the marketing of such products. I welcome the fact that, in the conciliation process, both the Council and the Commission moved towards the position maintained by the European Parliament. I am also pleased that an agreement was reached, stipulating a ban on experimenting and marketing for most testing methods within six years and, with regard to tests for which alternative methods have not yet been tested, a ten-year transposition period for this ban."@en1
