Non-technical Project Summaries under Article 43 of Directive 2010/63/EU on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes
For improved transparency, in addition to the provision of statistical data on the use of animals for scientific purposes, it is important that objective information on projects using live animals are made publicly available. To that end Article 43(1) of the Directive provides that
1. Subject to safeguarding intellectual property and confidential information, the non-technical project summary shall provide the following:
(a) information on the objectives of the project, including the predicted harm and benefits and the number and types of animals to be used
(b) a demonstration of compliance with the requirement of replacement, reduction and refinement.
The non-technical project summary shall be anonymous and shall not contain the names and addresses of the user and its personnel.
Additional guidance
Additional guidance was considered helpful by Member States and key stakeholders to promote consistency across the EU. A working document was developed with the aim of finding a common approach to Non-technical Project Summaries. The working document also includes a proposal for a voluntary template to be used for Non-technical Project Summaries.
