lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, each year in Europe alone 38,000 animals are routinely killed after being used to test the development of new cosmetic products. For nearly ten years the EU has had a ban on the sale of products tested on animals but we have yet to implement this. There is no reason why we should not do so, especially in cases where scientifically validated alternatives to animal testing are available. The Commission proposal to now replace this sales ban with a mere test ban is totally unacceptable and of great concern in view of massive public demand to end the use of animal testing for cosmetics. The test ban alone only serves to export the problem as cosmetics tested on animals in countries outside the EU will continue to be sold in the EU. Only a sales and test ban will remove such products from our shelves. This will not compromise the safety of cosmetics, as products sold in the EU must fulfil legal safety requirements. We need to speed up the development of alternative testing."@en1
