从2016年年中开始，进行动物实验的申请必须包括一份完整的“标准目录”。这是今年年初生效的奥地利新动物保护法中为数不多的几项改进之一。标准目录的目的是使成本效益分析客观化，这是第2010/63/EU号指令要求的评价过程的一个强制性组成部分。成本效益分析权衡了动物将遭受的痛苦、痛苦和痛苦与实验可能产生的预期收益。标准目录应通过增加评估程序的客观性和透明度，帮助申请者和主管当局实现利益平衡。由于瑞士是目前唯一一个拥有标准目录的国家，该目录允许基于道德理由拒绝进行动物实验的申请，这样一个具有法律约束力的标准目录对奥地利来说可能是一大进步。然而，奥地利《动物保护法》并没有明确规定这一标准目录将在条例层面上确立，只是规定它必须公布。因此，它不会产生任何法律影响。鉴于宪法框架，执行标准目录将是困难的：科学自由的基本权利与基于伦理理由拒绝动物实验的申请相抵触。因此，可以预期，最终，即使是严重的伦理问题也不会导致拒绝任何动物实验。最后，法律关于完成标准目录并将其与申请一起提交的措辞表明，复杂的利益平衡过程将简化为进一步填写清单。PEM
From mid-2016 applications to perform animal experiments will have to include a completed “criteria catalogue.” that is one of the few improvements included in the new Austrian Animal Protection law, which came into force at the beginning of the year. the aim of the criteria catalogue is to objectify the cost-benefit analysis, which is demanded as an obligatory component of the evaluation process by Directive 2010/63/eU. the costbenefit analysis weighs the pain, distress, and suffering the animals will be subjected to against the expected benefits that could result from the experiments. the criteria catalogue shall help applicants and competent authorities to perform the balance of interests by increasing objectivity and transparency of the evaluation procedure. As Switzerland is the only country that currently has a criteria catalogue that allows rejection of an application to perform an animal experiment on ethical grounds, such a legally binding criteria catalogue could have been a big step forward for Austria. the Austrian Animal Protection Law, however, specifically does not prescribe this criteria catalogue to be instated at ordinance level, only that it be published. therefore it will have no legal impact. An enforceable implementation of a criteria catalogue would be difficult in light of the constitutional framework: The basic right to scientific freedom stands against the rejection of an application to perform an animal experiment on ethical grounds. therefore it is to be expected that in the end even grave ethical concerns will not lead to the rejection of any animal experiment. Finally, the law’s wording on completing the criteria catalogue and submitting it with the application suggests that the complex process of a balancing of interests will be reduced to filling in a further checklist. pem
