"We have already mentioned in the European Parliament the ethical, medical or economic arguments against eating food derived from cloned animals, and these are just as valid as ever. There is also another argument which is at least just as important: European citizens do not want cloned products on their plates. They are opposed to the idea of giving their children food which has originated in a genetic experiment laboratory. A Eurobarometer survey carried out on this subject in 2008 shows that most Europeans are opposed to animal cloning, especially for the purposes of producing food. In the view of 84% of respondents, we do not have sufficient experience regarding the long-term impact for health and food safety to use cloned animals in food production. Seventy-five percent believe that cloning food for consumption is unacceptable on ethical grounds. These are significant percentages which convey a very clear message. People do not want to eat products obtained from cloning, they do not have confidence in it and do not agree with these methods. We must supplement and improve EU legislation so that there is never again the possibility of exerting pressure on, or getting round, principles or decisions in which we believe."@en1
