Press Release: Commission replies to “Stop Vivisection” European Citizens’ Initiative

On 3 June 2015 the European Commission set out the actions it intends to take in response to the 'Stop Vivisection' European Citizens' Initiative (ECI). Whilst, the Commission does share the conviction that animal testing should be phased out in Europe, its approach for achieving that objective differs from the one proposed in this Citizens' Initiative.
