I pledge my support for Directive 86/609/EEC to be revised, without further delay, to better protect all animals used in EU research and testing and to implement a Europe-wide strategy to achieve the ultimate goal of replacing animals with modern, humane techniques.

The new legislation should create, amongst others:

strategic direction to replace animals in research and testing through compulsory use of existing alternatives, and the creation of EU and national facilities dedicated to advancing additional non-animal methods;

transparent systems of ethical evaluation and ethical review, application and authorisation, retrospective review and laboratory inspection reports;

an immediate ban on the use of great apes and wild-caught primates in experiments, and the phasing out of all experiments on non-human primates in line with European Parliament Written Declaration 40/2007;

regular reviews of animal protection rules, and public reporting on progress made towards reducing animal suffering and replacing animal methods.

I support the Make Animal Testing History pledge
