"Mr President, it has undoubtedly been proved that bringing meat from cloned animals onto the market involves increased risks to human health, in particular, because cloned animals and their offspring are more susceptible to a wide range of diseases. Therefore, the current ban on products from cloned animals must be extended to cover their offspring. We can also put forward ethical reasons for doing this and bring animal welfare arguments into play.
In addition to this, it is important for us to ensure as soon as possible that consumers are given comprehensive information about the origins of the meat they are buying. Consumers must have the opportunity to choose not to buy specific products. Above all, we must make sure that people are not palmed off with products of this kind.
As we have just heard, products from the offspring of cloned animals have found their way into the food chain in the United Kingdom. However, it is possible that the case in the United Kingdom is not a one-off. Unfortunately, it is likely that the citizens of European countries are eating cloned meat without being aware of it. This is not acceptable."@en1
