How To Ease Waxing Pain
Although the European Commission Health and Consumer Affairs states that in March 2013 triggered a ban on testing cosmetic animal, we could hardly believe it. And we do not have a point: The first call was set in 1998, then in 2000 and again in 2002. Today we talk of 2013.
How long will it still pass? How many animalswill still suffer?
How to recognize a cream, a shampoo or a cruelty-free mascara? Theoretically, a product
cruelty free means 'not tested on animals' ECEAE (European Coalition to End Animal Experiments). Yet there were many doubts, 'product not tested on animals' means that the ingredients that make up not tested on animals? The doubts remain.
According to Dr. Antonio de Paula,
(ed. Cosmopolis) and active supporter of the rights of animals
********************************* INVIA LA TUA LETTERA DI PROTESTA:
SANCO-COSMETICS-REPORT@ec. europa.eu oggetto:
2013 Cosmetics testing public consultation response 2013 Cosmetics testing public consultation responseIn 2003, the EU Cosmetics Directive was amended to ban the sale of cosmetics containing ingredients tested on animals from 2009 for all but three types of animal test and from 2013 for the remaining animal tests (repeat dose toxicity, toxicokinetics and reproductive toxicity).
I wish to express my dismay that: This consultation appears to be concerned primarily with technical aspects of the development of alternatives to animal tests rather than with the views of EU citizens – the campaign to end animal testing of cosmetics ingredients has been running for decades and has widespread public support, but the consultation largely ignores this The draft report for consultation includes other tests in addition to the three tests for which the ban is not scheduled to take effect until 2013 – the sale of cosmetics containing ingredients that have undergone animal testing in these other areas is already prohibited under EU legislation and should not be part of this consultation.
I believe that the 2013 ban should be maintained irrespective of the availability of alternative testing methods. There are already thousands of cosmetics ingredients available that have been shown to be safe. The development of new cosmetics does not justify the suffering caused to animals. Any delay in enforcement of the 2013 ban will destroy my faith in the ability of EU decision makers to listen to the views of citizens.
I call on you to:
1) Ensure that the 2009 ban is properly enforced;
2) Ensure that the 2013 ban is implemented without delay
