This possibility was mentioned in the final report of the Congressional Investigation Commission (CPI) on the mistreatment of animals. Among other recommendations, the report included the text of a draft law the Commission will submit that proposes changes in the operation and organization chart of the National Council for the Control of Animal Experimentation (Concea), the collegial institution responsible for establishing animal experimentation standards in Brazil and replacing animals used for scientific purposes with alternatives when they exist. The report was approved in December 2015, but it may be amended when the vote is taken on the individual provisions. The reason for the changes is that there are some researchers who work with animals and are also members of Concea. In the words of the report, this could create a conflict of interest, since \u201cConcea members process membership and approval applications that it receives.\u201d\u00a0The project proposes establishing a new appeal unit within the council. \u201cThis will burden and destabilize Concea\u2019s operations and the process of regulating the use of animals for scientific purposes,\u201d says a letter to the CPI from the presidents of the three entities\u2014Helena Nader (SBPC), Jacob Palis (ABC) and Dalton Valentim (FESBE)\u2014to the CPI, in which they ask to have the project removed from the final report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scientific community have joined forces to prevent changes in the Arouca Law","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[162],"tags":[230],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-219684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-strategies","tag-ethics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219684"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219684\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219684"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=219684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
