Good Luck.
People in Europe will no longer be able to buy cosmetics that were tested on animals. European Union has banned all cosmetics that were developed using animal testing. EU is also asking other countries to do same. total ban follows earlier one from 2009, when companies could test on animals for serious human health issues. Tonio Borg, the EU's commissioner for health, said ban, “gives important signal on value that Europe attaches to animal welfare". Mr Borg said EU would help industry find different ways of developing new cosmetics. He said this would, “set example of responsible innovation in cosmetics without any compromise on consumer safety".

Animal rights campaigners say ban is important victory. They have campaigned for decades against animal testing. spokesman from Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals charity said: "Animal testing in name of beauty has never been acceptable." He added work for animal rights activists was not over. "This is great day for animals but…there are still many animals being used across world to develop cosmetics," he said. Cosmetics companies were very angry over new law. Cosmetics Europe spokesman said European companies would fall behind in developing new products. He added that, “consumers in Europe won’t have access to new products".
