lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, novel foods mean that we also need new regulations. Apart from the issue of consumer protection, there are relevant ethical questions as well that are raised by the production of novel foods. The main concern here, as also highlighted by the debate in the Chamber this evening, is the issue of meat from cloned animals. The situation in the European Union regarding our meat supply is adequate. There is no reason, therefore, to have to fall back on meat from cloned animals. Meat from cloned animals is definitely not harmful. However, risks cannot always be excluded either. There is no reliable evidence available to show what kind of suffering such animals endure. What is known for definite at the moment – and this is borne out by the statistics – is that cloned animals become ill more often. Cloning is a clear encroachment on nature and we require a clear political decision on this. Not everything that can be made is also for mankind’s benefit. There must be no cloned animals in the food chain. We must send out a consistent, clear political message to the Commission and our citizens. Another important topic in this regulation is the rules on nanotechnology. In order to guarantee a high level of consumer protection and legal certainty for producers, we urgently need a definition with a horizontal scope, which not only applies to novel foods, but also to the food contact materials and cosmetics directives, as well as the biocide authorisation regulation, which we are currently consulting on at first reading. I call on the Commission to table a proposal on this as soon as possible."@en1
