This document was prepared for DGXI of the European Commission to be used with Directive
86/609/EEC of 24 November 1986, on the approximation of laws, regulations and
administrative provisions of the Member States regarding the protection of animals used for
experimental and other scientific purposes (No L 358, ISSN 0378-69781. It refers especially to
Article 2(1) published by the European Commission in October 1995 which defines 'humane
methods of killing' as 'the killing of an animal with a minimum of physical and mental
suffering, depending on the species'.
