lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I shall endeavour to confine my comments to one point which I feel is important and which has to do with the facility to use animal testing to check certain products where there is no alternative method available. In brief, we need to make sure we vote in favour of the amendments which allow alternative methods to be used, especially for toxicity and reproduction, for which there are currently no satisfactory alternative tests. For the rest, I too am in complete agreement with the rapporteur that, where there are alternative methods which allow animal testing to be avoided, we should use these alternative methods. Consequently, what I and my fellow Members who tabled this amendment are trying to do is to allow alternative methods to be used, but not in cases in which there is no alternative to animal testing. I must point out that the first priority is human health and then, of course, respect and protection for animals. I hope that Parliament will vote in favour of these amendments which give us this facility until such time as these tests can be replaced by alternative methods. I must reiterate and stress that, as there are no satisfactory methods available, it would be irresponsible and absurd to do away with every facility for which there is, as yet, no alternative method."@en1
