The European Coalition to End Animal Experiments (ECEAE) has rallied up enough support to ban animal testing on cosmetics made in the EU. In addition, a marketing ban on products sold in Europe that carry out animal testing outside of the EU is supposed to be put into place in 2013. However, some people in the cosmetics industry are pushing to delay this deadline for possibly 10 more years.
To ensure that the marketing ban will go into effect in 2013, you can sign the petition at No Cruel Cosmetics.
