lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, in common with the majority of European Union citizens, I believe that the use of live animals in cosmetic testing is an unnecessary and unacceptable practice and must be banned. Over 8,000 ingredients have already been cleared for use in cosmetics. How many more new products do we need? What is going to provide the incentive for commercial companies to develop alternative testing methods? The answer is, firstly, a marketing ban on new animal-tested cosmetics five years after adoption of the legislation, as the report that we adopted in the Environment Committee states. This is clearly not now against WTO rules. Secondly, a complete test ban, with a definite date by which it will come into force. I believe anything less than this to be insufficient and unsatisfactory and I know my constituents share that view. Banning cosmetic testing will not mean that consumers will be sold unsafe products, but will mean an end to a great deal of animal suffering."@en1
