lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should first of all like to express my appreciation for Mrs Roth-Behrendt, for her sound work and for her perseverance in this debate. As Mr van den Bos said a moment ago, forty thousand animal tests annually are forty thousand too many. Twenty-five years ago, the Body Shop launched cosmetics that were not tested on animals. It has proved for 25 years that it is possible. This Body Shop policy should now become standard European policy. At the earliest opportunity. It is beyond me why the Christian-Democrats want to wait for another ten years. If we really want this, we simply have to say: as soon as possible. Even if this results in a trade conflict with America or any other partners in the WTO. A reduction in animal suffering is the express wish of the European people, and we as MEPs must comply with this."@en1
