PETA argues that research shows that animal experimentation has contributed very little to current knowledge on many human illnesses and that the future of science lies in cutting-edge, non-animal methodologies. The Commission concludes that its ultimate goal is to replace all animals in research, as stated in Directive 2010/63/EU for the protection of animals used in science, and it is actively working towards this goal. However, a Europe-wide moratorium on the use of animals in science is, however, not yet possible.
