lpv:translated text	"The report adopted today on the placing on the market of novel foods is further confirmation of our Parliament’s responsiveness to the information and food safety demands made by Europeans, rather than to those made by animal testing and food lobbies, which are often motivated by economic concerns. We reject in principle the genetic modification of humans, animals or plants until it is demonstrated at every level that it has absolutely no repercussions for citizens’ health. Animals, moreover, should not suffer for human health. I wonder what possible advantage there can be in consumers having access to meat that comes from an animal that has been battered prior to slaughter, and ‘reconstituted’ into a succulent steak through an injection of engineered nanomaterials or proteins. Only a few months ago, when voting on thrombin, also known as ‘meat glue’, I voiced my concerns about initiatives that have a clear industrial benefit without, at the same time, guaranteeing complete protection of consumers. I therefore voted in favour of Amendment 14, in which it is argued that the European Commission must undertake to present a specific legislative proposal on the placing on the market of novel foods derived from cloning processes. As a good Italian and Emilia-Romagnan, the only ‘pies’ that I enjoy are those of the ‘ ’ kind, since I can be sure that the age-old recipe is authentic. I reject, on the other hand, those genetically modified ones that are served up to consumers without any detailed information to make them fully aware of the true nature of the food on their plate. Thank you."@en1
