Verklaringen, voorbehouden en bezwaren

Denemarken, 8 september 2000

The Convention shall not apply to the Faroe Islands and Greenland.

Duitsland, 21 juni 1988

The Federal Government is of the opinion that:

– the signing and ratification, acceptance or approval of the Convention by the member States of the Council of Europe and the EEC establishes only a minimum standard,

– the Federal Republic of Germany, out of consideration for the concerns of animal protectionists, has gone much further in its national legislation,

– with its signature the Federal Republic of Germany also wishes to demonstrate internationally its commitment to the cause of animal protection,

– the Federal Republic of Germany wishes to give a political signal to those member States who are still hesitating to become signatories to the Convention.

Duitsland, 19 april 1991

Having regard to Article 34.1 of the European Convention for the Protection of Vertebrate Animals used for Experimental and other Scientific Purposes, the Federal Republic of Germany declares that contractual relations between itself and the other Parties to this Convention will not extend to Article 27.2.b (statistical information on the numbers of animals used in procedures directly concerned with medicine and in education and training) in conjunction with Article 28.1 (communication of statistical information) and Article 28.2 (publication of statistical information) of this Convention.

EG (Europese Gemeenschap), 30 april 1998

In application of Article 34, paragraph 1, of the European Convention for the Protection of Vertebrate Animals used for Experimental and other Scientific Purposes, the European Community states that it does not consider itself bound by the requirements to communicate statistical data laid down in Article 28, paragraph 1, of the said Convention.

Frankrijk, 2 september 1987

France declares that it does not consider itself bound by the present formulation of these two articles.

It reserves however the possibility to use, in such a way as seems to it the most convenient, statistical information for the purpose of guiding national policy in the field of animal experimentation.

The preceding statement concerns Article(s): 27, 28

France undertakes to render assistance, in particular by furnishing information on its legislation and administrative practice relating to the requirements for procedures to be carried out in support of submissions for registration of products.

The French Government declares that, in Article 7, the words ‘‘where required’’ relate exclusively to the responsible authority defined in Article 1.2.e.

The declarations and the reservation on Articles 27, 28 and 29 will be valid, as from 24 November 1988, only in respect of States which are not members of the E.E.C. to the extent to which, in the framework of the Communities, the provisions of Directive No 86/609/EEC of 24 November 1986 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the member States regarding the protection of animals used for experimental and other scientific purposes will take priority.

Frankrijk, 5 juni 2000
