Si le remplacement total de l’expérimentation animale était l’objectif visé par la directive européenne du 22 septembre 2010 relative à la protection des animaux utilisés à des fins scientifiques, force est de constater qu’il est encore loin d’être atteint. Le nombre d’animaux ne diminue pas et les méthodes alternatives peinent à être utilisées. La Commission européenne, sous la pression citoyenne, vient de prendre de nouveaux engagements pour définir les étapes et les actions spécifiques à mettre en place pour réduire l’expérimentation animale, condition préalable à la transition vers un système réglementaire sans animaux. Entre dysfonctionnements et manque de cohérence dans la politique européenne, la mobilisation des citoyens représente un levier indispensable à l’accélération de la mise en œuvre des méthodes alternatives.
While the total replacement of animal experimentation was the goal set by the European Directive of 22 September 2010 on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes, it has to be said that it is still far from being achieved. The number of animals is not decreasing and alternative methods are struggling to be used. Under pressure from the citizens, the European Commission has just made new commitments to define the stages and specific actions to be put in place to reduce animal testing, a prerequisite for the transition to an animal-free regulatory system. Given the shortcomings and lack of coherence in European policy, mobilising the public is an essential lever for speeding up the implementation of alternative methods.
