ok…so here is what i JUST FOUND MORE INFO ON THE LOOPHOLE!!! ~

“And there were warnings on Monday that the ban still left a loophole. Shortly after the announcement, Dagmar Roth-Behrendt, a Socialist lawmaker from Germany …said companies still could use ingredients from tests on animals as long as the tests were carried out for non-cosmetic products like pharmaceuticals or chemicals.

Ms. Roth-Behrendt said she did not know if the loophole “followed? pressure from the industry,” but added, “This is wrong.”

I’m confused about the EU ban.. At first they stated that NO brand could conduct animal testing in Europe as soon as the ban was in effect. Now on their Facebook page, they’re saying brands that already test on animals, like L’Oreal, will still be allowed to test, just not new companies. What good will this almighty ban be if companies like L’Oreal find loopholes every time!!

It’s just kinda sad, how many of the big corporations exploit loopholes. Mainstream society will think that if they buy their Shiseido in the EU that they aren’t contributing to animal testing on cosmetics but they are if the company still tests on animals on the otherside of the world. Business should not come at the sake of ethics but in todays society it does. Sad.

“how does Shiseido still selling in China allow them to sell in the EU after March 11, 2013?”

Indeed. That is THE question.
