"Question No 32 by John Purvis ():
Under WTO rules, imported products must be treated the same as ‘like products’ of domestic origin. In past cases of dispute, a decision is based on the end product and not the way a product is produced. It has been argued, therefore, that the introduction of a ban on the marketing of cosmetic products if they are tested on animals will result in a trade war as the process, i.e. not testing on animals, would not be taken into consideration.
In light of the Parliament’s vote on 3 April 2001 to move towards such a ban, what action would the Commission take to avoid a potential trade war and does the Commission consider that the WTO rules should be interpreted to include the processing of a product when deciding on its 'likeness'?"@en1
