DLRM PRESS RELEASE-----------------------

DLRM CHALLENGES EUROPEAN COMMISSION CHEMICALS POLICY

September 16, 2001

The EU commission has proposed a strategy for a future Chemicals Policy, whereby some 100,000 different chemicals will be tested on animals.

DLRM condemns this strategy as being totally irresponsible, since these animal tests are notoriously unreliable and extremely cruel.

Dr Claude Reiss, an international scientific expert in the field of toxicology, will explain why the sophisticated methods available today are scientifically far more reliable than animal tests.

A press conference will take place on Wednesday, 3rd October 2001. Further information from the DLRM press office: 0208 340 2482/9813, email dlrm@gn.apc.org.
