Animal testing for cosmetics banned in EU
London: A ban on selling cosmetics that have been tested on animals has come into force throughout the entire European Union (EU).This victory for animal welfare campaigners comes after decades of protests against using animals
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal (RSPCA) chief executive Gavin Grant said: "Animal testing in the name of beauty has never been acceptable.
"This landmark legislation at the end of a long campaign sends out a loud and clear message to other countries and those operating outside the EU.
"If their products or ingredients have been newly-tested on animals then they cannot be sold in the EU, no matter where the testing took place."
