lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of the report in order to obtain an exemption for food from cloned animals and their offspring from the scope of the regulation on novel foods and an embargo on imports of novel foods from cloned animals. I also voted in favour in order to support the fact that foods for which production processes have been applied that require special risk evaluation methods (for example, foods processed using nanotechnologies) should not be marketed until such time as these special methods have been approved for use and it has been proven by appropriate safety assessments based on these methods that the said foods are safe to use. These novel foods constitute a threat to agricultural production which, to date, has been the main food supplier. There is also the question of consumer protection. All the provisions in the Commission regulation on the labelling of novel foods are deliberately inadequate and obscure to the consumer. The multinationals are competing by pushing unsafe scientific technologies on to the markets. It should not be the financial interests of those companies, the majority of which are leaning towards food from cloned animals and nanomaterials, that determine consumer food standards."@en1
