Antidote Europe and Equivita met Franco Frattini, Vice-President of the European Commission.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Delegates representing two\u00a0NGOs concerned with public health and the environment met today with Franco Frattini, Vice-President of the European Commission and responsible for Justice, Freedom and Security.<\/p>\n

Representatives of the scientific committees of Antidote Europe (France) and\u00a0Equivita<\/a>\u00a0\"external\u00a0(Italy) brought the following worrying trends to the attention of Mr Frattini:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Disturbing European data<\/strong>: 3.2 million new cases of cancer in 2006, an increase of 10% compared with 2004; 1.6 million cancer deaths annually; 8 million people affected with Alzheimer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s, with 2.5 million new cases each year; 15% of under-18s suffer from neurological problems.<\/li>\n
  2. The lack of a clear strategy to try to deal with these diseases through prevention<\/strong>\u00a0and the questionable outcome of the EU chemicals program (REACH) in its current form. The\u00a0REACH\u00a0initiative (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals), which entered into force on 1st June 2007, whose aim is to assess the toxic risk of the many thousands of chemicals in our environment, cannot be expected to achieve this result unless it relies on modern scientific methods rather than continuing to rely on animal experiments, as is currently the case.<\/li>\n
  3. The under-utilisation of modern scientific methods<\/strong>\u00a0to replace animal experiments, for example, the powerful science of toxicogenomics, which is barely mentioned in theREACH\u00a0legislation, and yet\u00a0strongly encouraged<\/a>\u00a0in the US by the prestigious National Research Council. In this respect, Antidote Europe has recently lodged acomplaint<\/a>\u00a0with the EU ombudsman for not putting these modern tools to work sooner.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
