I have pleasure attaching a letter jointly signed by Cruelty Free Europe, Cefic and Members of the European Parliament on the subject of animal testing and the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability. The letter expresses our joint commitment to ensuring the highest levels of protection of human health and the environment and calls on the Commission to modernise the legislative framework, notably REACH, to reflect scientific advances in non-animal methods and include and measure animal testing in the upcoming REACH impact assessment. We very much look forward to hearing about the Commission's next steps in this regard `and remain at your disposal to discuss this matter further.
