Animal Research Ethical Committee of PRBB (CEEA-PRBB)
On February 20, 2007, the Ethical Committee of Animal Experimentation of the PRBB (CEEA-PRBB) was constituted, in accordance with the PRBB legal obligations as a centre which uses experimental animals, and in application of the articles 26 and the ruling 214/1997 from July 30, which regulates the use of animals for experiments and other scientific practices. The main objective of the CEEA-PRBB is the evaluation of experimental procedures, taking into account the suitability of the procedure in relation to the aims of the study, the possibility to attain valid conclusions with the smaller possible number of animals, that the level of effect on the animals is not disproportionate with the potential benefits of the research, and, in summary, to avoid unnecessary suffering, considering also the possibility of using alternative methods to the use of animals.

Clinical Research Ethical Committees (CEICs)
The CEICs are independent Committees made up of researchers and research promoters (such as pharmaceutical companies and other institutions). The Committees' aim is to ensure that any methodological, ethical or legal aspect of a research project that may imply any physical or psychological risk to human subjects is corrected (RD number 223/2004 dated February 6, 2004 , RD number 561/1993 dated Abril 16, 1993 and Ordinance dated October 26, 1992 ).
