"As the rapporteur for the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection, I am sorry that there is no agreement between the Council and Parliament ahead of the second reading, despite the fact that the regulation will enable a harmonised approval process at a single location in the Union, an approach for the entire unified market, which means less bureaucracy, lower financial costs, easier access to the market of traditional foods from third countries, improved food safety assessments and support for innovation.
At first reading, I proposed in my opinion that the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies would be asked to express an opinion in ethically sensitive cases. The contentious issue now is products from cloned animals, which I do not support personally, and the labelling of products from animals fed on genetically-modified foodstuffs. However, this regulation did not originally apply to genetically modified foodstuffs, which are handled by another directive, and we should ask the Commission to revise it. Before that, however, this House should state that meat from cloned animals does not belong among the objectives of our agricultural policy."@en1
