With financial support from PETA, the Swedish Fund for Research Without Animal Experiments successfully lobbied the Swedish government to establish a center to develop and coordinate non-animal testing methods that can be used to meet European Union regulations. Also as a result of the fund’s lobbying, Swedish government agencies must now publish their strategies for replacing animals in experiments and the Swedish cabinet has published a proposal for a chemical testing strategy that promotes the development of new non-animal tests.
