Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Warner on 13 March (WA 191), whether, in addition to the European requirements on medicine labelling, they are free to add a statement to medicine labels.
European Union law specifies that member states may not prohibit or impede the placing on the market of medicinal products within their territory on grounds connected with labelling or the package leaflet where these comply with the requirements of EU law (directive 2001/83/EC as amended). Information about whether the medicine has been tested on animals is not required in EU law.
