lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I should first like to thank Mrs Evans for an outstanding report and to thank Mrs Wallström for the positive reception she has given to Parliament’s report. I think we were right to highlight the Member States’s poor implementation of the 1986 directive. I also think that the report shows very clearly the need for tightening up the current rules. I can fully support the Commission’s being obliged, by no later than next year, to table a proposal regarding the way in which animal experiments are to be regulated in future. Among the areas I would earmark for tightening up is the area of application. I think it important that animal experiments should also cover the use of animals for educational purposes, and we must look at the conditions under which transgenic and genetically modified animals are used in experiments. We must establish some clear ethical rules. I also believe it is very important for us to obtain a central database for approved animal experiments, both current and completed and both successful and manifestly unsuccessful. I think it important that we obtain a combined database of this kind so that we avoid repeating experiments that have already been carried out. Finally, I want to support Mrs Evans's idea of obtaining better supervision of the circumstances in which animals are kept, possibly through a common EU inspectorate that can help ensure that the rules are observed. May I say that I am able to support Amendment No 3 and that there will be a free vote on Amendment No 4 in the Group of the Party of European Socialists. On the other hand, we are unable to support Amendments Nos 1 and 2. I am looking forward to a proposal from the Commission that will live up to the expectations to which – inspired by Mrs Evans – Parliament’s report has given expression."@en1
