We, the undersigned, call upon the Council of the European Union and European Parliament to ensure that new European Directive on the protection of animals used in scientific procedures includes:

• All experiments to be authorised by national governments before they take place, and the process of authorisation to be accountable to the public, independent, and transparent;
• A comprehensive authorisation and licensing system for suppliers of laboratory animals, user establishments, and individuals who use animals, together with a strict training regime;
• Permission to use animals is only given if advanced techniques to replace animals have been considered first;
• A ban on the use of great apes, and wild-caught primates;
• Limits on primate experiments;
• A phase-out of the use of monkeys born of wild-caught parents;
• Every two years, a review should take place of the use of specific species, or types of experiment, and targets should be set to replace animals in particular tests;
• Prohibition of severe and prolonged suffering for animals in experiments;
• Establish an EU centre for replacement of animal experiments;
• EU standards for husbandry and care that meet the ethological needs of the animals;
