"The regulation on novel foods should, in my view, exclude the issue of cloning of animals and products derived from this controversial and contentious technology. I voted to support a call on the Commission to come forward with a separate proposal on cloning, with a view to regulating this issue – as reflected in my support for the first part of Amendment 37. To be consistent, I abstained on the second part of Amendment 37, which would prescribe to the Commission the shape of its proposal on cloning. We need a thorough debate on the issue, to include concerns about the welfare of cloned animals. I am conscious of the EP’s 2008 vote on cloning, which called for a ban on the use of meat from cloned animals. While this may be the eventual decision of the Commission, Council and Parliament, I did not want to prescribe the outcome. Scientific advice from the Food Safety Authority of Ireland is that food from cloned animals is not on the market in Ireland, nor is such food produced in Ireland. However, the Commission has said that non-food products such as embryos and semen from cloned animals may currently be on the EU market."@en1
