Transparency Agreement on Animal Testing in the NetherlandsNovember 6th, 2023
FiledNovember 6th, 2023The signatories to this agreement are involved in animal research by either conducting, financing, or facilitating research or education that involves the use of animals. Scientific research with animals, both within and outside the Netherlands, has brought us significant medical, pharmaceutical, and veterinary progress. It is crucial for the well-being of both humans and animals to continue this research globally, and the Netherlands is one of the key players in this field. Significant efforts are made to replace animal experiments with animal-free alternatives and progress in this area has been made. However, alternatives cannot fully replace all animal research and animal experiments will remain necessary in the near future.
