Report from a European Parliamentary hearing held in Brussels on the 11 May 2015 on the 'Stop Vivisection' European Citizens' Initiative. The ECI had reached 1.6m signatures and calls for:

' We urge the European Commission to abrogate directive 2010/63/EU on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes and to present a new proposal that does away with animal experimentation and instead makes compulsory the use - in biomedical and toxicological research - of data directly relevant for the human species'.
