Response to Commission Roadmap to phase out animal testing

15 Oct 2024

The European Animal Research Association (EARA) welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback to the Call for Evidence for the European Commission to build a roadmap to phase out animal testing in chemical safety assessments. The mission of EARA is to inform its stakeholders about the continued need for, and benefits of, the humane use of animals in scientific research, by providing accurate and evidence-based information. There are more than 190 EARA member organisations, from across the EU and globally, from both public and private research institutions, including some that produce human and animal medicinal products in Europe, and some that routinely conduct chemical safety assessments. With high ambitions for the protection of humans, animals, and the environment, it is essential that scientists with a deep expertise, in hazard characterisation using animal testing, be included in strategic discussions over the future of chemical safety assessments. As a result, we are strongly driven to provide input to the Commission roadmap, offering our expertise and insights specific to our sector. EARA and its members request to be recognised as key stakeholders in the upcoming targeted consultations as part of the roadmap development. Please see the attached document with our feedback.
