Putting animal welfare principles and 3Rs into action
This newly released leaflet showcases concrete examples leading to improved animal welfare and high-quality science.
Putting animal welfare principles and 3Rs into action
The use of animals in research and testing can be a controversial subject and therefore it is important to support an open dialogue and collaboration on the use of animals for scientific purposes. The pharmaceutical industry continues to support the objectives of the Directive 2010/63/EU on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes which has enhanced animal welfare standards and mandated the application of the 3Rs across the EU while ensuring Europe remains a world leader in biomedical research. Since the adoption of this EU legislation, EFPIA and its members have been publishing reports to visibly highlight our achievements on putting animal welfare principles and the 3Rs into action.
