Заявление в поддержку Европейской Директивы 2010/63/EU (Директива) о защите животных, используемых в научных целях. Использование животных в научных исследованиях способствовало основным прорывам в медицине, которые обеспечивают здоровье людей и животных. Мы поддерживаем исследования на животных в тех случаях, когда альтернативные методы недоступны, когда потенциальная польза с точки зрения здоровья несомненна, и когда приемлемые этические стандарты и благополучие животных мо

The use of animals in research has facilitated major breakthroughs in medicine which have transformed human and animal health. We support research using animals where alternative methods are not available, where the potential benefits to health are compelling, and where acceptable ethical and welfare standards can be met. The European Directive 2010/63/EU has enhanced animal welfare standards and introduced the concepts of refinement, replacement and reduction (‘3Rs’) across

The European Animal Research Association (EARA) has published a statement on behalf of leading biomedical research organisations, learned societies, industry representatives, universities and patient groups in Europe in support of Directive 2010/63/EU. With the Directive being reviewed in 2017 as part of the standard European legislative process, this statement illustrates the continued need for the responsible use of animals in medical, veterinary and basic research and the

Emma M. Sanchez, Press and Communications Officer, the European Animal Research Association (EARA). 23rd September 2015 Executive Summary Lack of communications from research organisations encourages misconceptions about science and the role of animals in research that fuel animal rights groups’ campaigns such as the recent European Citizens’ Initiative ‘Stop Vivisection’. Animal rights groups are globally coordinated and current tactics focus on halting the supply chain, for

Here you can read EARA’s editorial for Lab Animal Europe May’s issue. Lab Animal Europe is the biggest and most widely read magazine in the lab animal sciences’ sector. In this editorial, we addressed Lab Animal Europe readership on the importance of defending biomedical research and called this sector to participate in our joint effort to create a pan-European network to support the role of the humane use of animals in scientific research. #EARABriefing

Animal models are key in biomedical research as a proof of concept to study complex processes in a physiological context. Despite the small yet crucial role animals play in fundamental and applied research, the value of animal research is recurrently undermined. Lack of openness and transparency encourages misconceptions, which can have a dramatic negative impact on science and medicine. Research centres should use all available resources to ensure that relevant details about

In their most recent statement, the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) Stop Vivisection calls for a ‘new paradigm in biomedical science.’ In a letter addressed to MEPs, Stop Vivisection makes a range of claims as to why animal research is not only unnecessary, but also hindering medical progress. These arguments are unsurprisingly based on inaccurate and misused information.  EARA goes through Stop Vivisection’s most recent publicity stunt to separate fact from fiction. Are
