In part one, Helder Constantino gives a brief chronological description of how the EU Directive 2010/63/EU has thus far progressed.  He mentions the 2007 adoption of a written Declaration (40) of the European Parliament which called for a complete ban (via a time-tabled phasing out) on using primates in EU laboratories, he mentions the 2008 EU Commission's proposal for new legislation (incidentally ignoring the European Parliament's Declaration), he mentions the 2009 European Parliament's amendments, he mentions the 2009 Council of Ministers amendments, he mentions the 2010 adoption of the legislation in the European Parliament and finally he mentions the 2011/2012 transposition of the new EU legislation into member states own legislation.  Helder Constantino represents the National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS).  The talk was hosted by 'London Vegans' on the 30th March 2010.
