Europe is preparing to phase out animal testing in chemical safety assessments. These are the EFPIA's key recommendations for the transition outlined in their report: - The European Commission has committed to a roadmap by 2026 for phasing out animal use across sectors, including pharma. - EFPIA proposes a “3-Basket Approach” to prioritise which tests can be phased out first, balancing scientific, legal, and global regulatory challenges. - Progress depends on updating legislation and guidance, faster validation of non-animal methods, improved data sharing, training, and transparency. - Metrics for progress and ensuring funding for alternatives have also been considered. This phase-out would mark a pivotal step towards animal-free science in Europe, aligning innovation, ethics, and regulation.  📖 Read the full EFPIA recommendations here: https://efpia.eu/media/meef32ki/efpia-recommendations-on-phasing-out-animal-testing-for-chemical-safety-assessments.pdf #AFSA #animalresearch #animaltesting #sciencewithoutsuffering #AnimalFreeScience #ChemicalSafety #EUInnovation #EFPI (fb)
