First, the replacement of the decentralised authorisation procedure with a centralised procedure at EU level. The safety assessment would be carried out by EFSA and the authorisation decision taken by the Commission.
Second, the introduction of a procedure setting out essential criteria and guidelines for traditional food from third countries that would allow safe food to be subject to adjusted safety assessment and risk management procedures.
Third, in order to support innovation and to ensure food safety, in justified cases, consideration could be given to granting data protection for newly developed food.
Fourth, the need for a science-based definition of nanomaterials which can be easily adapted to reflect the evolving state of science – a definition that should not be made by politicians but rather be science-based: made by scientists.
Fifth, clarification of the fact that all food products containing nanomaterials require case-by-case authorisation by EU citizens.
Sixth, the right of consumers to be able to make an informed choice through the systematic labelling of all food products containing nanomaterials.
Regarding cloning, I have heard Parliament’s views and I will have an in-depth look at whether the novel food regulation is the right instrument to deal with animal cloning as this issue goes beyond the scope of this regulation.
I can assure Ms Grossetête that the promised report on cloning will be developed with a clear head and it will deal with all aspects of food produced from cloned animals and their offspring. I look forward to a debate with the European Parliament and Council on this. The aim is that such a report will also suggest options for a balanced solution that will aim to meet the concerns of all the institutions in line with our institutional and international obligations."@en1
