"I voted for the report by my colleague, Mrs Liotard (GUE/NGL/Netherlands), on regulations for authorising the marketing of novel foods.
This regulation requests, in particular, a ban on the sale of foodstuffs originating from cloned animals. This measure is urgent as cloning technology has not yet been mastered. At present, more than half of cloned animals die prematurely, suffer from malformation and show other health problems. Food from clones of this nature must therefore not end up on our citizens’ plates.
This regulation also provides a framework for experimentation and evaluation methods with regard to nanomaterials. Research in this field is very recent and it is important that we do not get ahead of ourselves with large-scale marketing of these products. Consumer safety must therefore take precedence.
I regret, however, that the European Parliament has rejected certain proposals by Mrs Liotard, notably on the equating of certain products (additives, flavourings, etc.) to foodstuffs, the publication of European studies in this field or labelling, and, in particular, on products made from animals raised on GMOs."@en1
