EU regulators are expected to announce Monday a ban on the import and sale of cosmetics containing ingredients tested on animals and pledge more efforts to push other parts of the world,like China,to accept alternatives.

European Union banned animal testing of finished cosmetic products in 2004.

A second ban,on animal-tested ingredients,went into effect four years ago. But heavy lobbying by major cosmetics manufacturers resulted in an extension of the deadline for some tests for effects like allergies and cancer. The ban will take effect immediately.
