Paul McCartney took to the field alongside PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), the largest and most powerful animal protection association in the world, and dozens of other European animal welfare organizations to ask that Brussels does not take its word back. , and to implement a law, approved 9 years ago but remained a dead letter, which prohibits the experimentation of cosmetics on animals. “We thought that battle had ended victoriously once and for all,” McCartney told Euronews. “Unfortunately we were wrong.”
On 11 March 2013, Europe announced a ban on the sale of cosmetic products that had been tested on animals or that had used ingredients tested on animals according to Regulation (EC) no. 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009, on cosmetic products. But now this could end because despite the bans, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is demanding new animal tests for certain ingredients, even those used exclusively in cosmetics and for ingredients with long-standing safe use.
The invitation that the former Beatle addresses to all European citizens is to ask the European Commission that the law be respected. The question has been the subject of for some time an international collection of signatures promoted by the Save cruelty free cosmetics association and where you can put your signature until August 31st: almost 64,000 have already collected in Germany; in France 42,000; in the Czech Republic 80,000. Italy is stopped at 9,800.
“We have fought hard with you and with the members of the European Parliament to obtain these laws and now the European Commission must support and consolidate this ban and the transition to safety assessment methods without the use of animals – recalls Gian Marco Prampolini, president Leal Lega Anvivisectionist, one of the associations that joined the campaign to collect signatures -. Europe is about to break a law in which, by the will of millions of European citizens, animals would no longer suffer or die to produce cosmetics, like Leal we can only oppose this unacceptable betrayal ».
