One of the key aims of the Directive is to enhance transparency and to ensure that the public is objectively informed about the use of animals for scientific purposes. Thisis clearly expressed in both Recital 41 and Article 43 of the Directive. The main tool that is used for this purpose is the publication of non-technical project summaries (NTS) and the retrospective assessment results (RAR) of authorised projects.
