".
The vote took place at a time when the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy had delivered the following opinion on the aspects that remained the most sensitive in political terms: firstly, an immediate ban on the sale of new cosmetic products tested on animals where other validated methods of testing exist; secondly, a total ban, in five years’ time, on the sale of all new cosmetic products tested on animals; thirdly, a ban on testing on animals by the end of 2004. It is well known that if plenary pursued this approach, we would face the prospect of a major disagreement with the Council which, in turn, will give up not only on the idea of banning experiments on animals but also on the idea of banning sales. In other words, we would face the prospect of a heated and lively conciliation process. This is my position exactly, because I am disappointed with the degree of conformism that I discerned in the prevailing Council positions and because I am convinced that it is absolutely crucial to push forward with the positions held by the industry in this field, in order to achieve a balanced weighting of the values involved."@en1
