lpv:translated text	"The European Parliament debated the cloning of animals for securing a source of food as long ago as September 2008. A resolution was passed in the vote, in which Members requested a complete ban on the cloning of animals designated for food processing in the European Union, as well as a ban on the import of cloned animals and cloned animal products. The adopted text of the resolution took on board the concerns of many European specialists, particularly as far as the health risks connected with the use of cloned animals in the food industry are concerned. Cloning creates serious problems in connection with a high incidence of poor health and the mortality of the cloned animals at an early age in particular. The scientific and technical findings of the World Organisation for Animal Health suggest that only 6% of cloned embryos result in healthy, long-living clones. This is mainly due to the fact that a clone has, from the outset, the genetic age of the original. Therefore, if the original is a seven-year old cow, the clone will be a calf whose genes are seven years old from the start. Cloning also damages the genome of the individual, which then makes the clone more susceptible to diseases and parasites. The problems of cloning relate not only to the health and decent living conditions of animals, of course, but also to consumer confidence in the food that might come from such sources. Although the US Food and Drug Administration states that meat and milk products from cloned animals, pigs, sheep, cattle and their descendents are, in its opinion, just as reliable as products produced from animals reared in the current way, I would not consider it wise, Commissioner, for commercial reasons alone, to open the door to such products and to expose the European public to an unjustifiable risk of the consequences of products from cloned animals and their descendants entering the food chain."@en1
