The    French    government    is    planning    to    introduce    new    measures    to    monitor    and  limit  the    use    of    live    animals    in    scientific    research.    Their    aim    is    to    establish    new    standards    for    all    of    Europe.    The    new    measures    aim    to        that    the    public    will    be    informed    as    to    the    conditions    in    which    animals    are    kept,    and    scientists    will    be    made    to        their    use    of    live    animals    in    cases    where        could    be    found.    A    council    will    also    be    formed    consisting    of    scientists,    animal    rights    activists    and    other        members.    It    is    hoped    that    France’s    actions    will    be    an    example    to    other    European    countries    which    now    have    few        regarding    the    treatment    of    animals.
