"The European Parliament is being called upon to give its opinion on the draft legislative resolution presented by Mrs Liotard on the subject of ‘novel foods’.
Novel foods and food supplements can be vegetable or animal in origin, or can even be produced from scientific and technological research. These are ingredients or foods, consumption of which has been negligible or non-existent up until now. However, the European Union still legislates for it.
Food constitutes the basis for life; making modifications to what mankind has known for millennia for the benefit of large food industries is hazardous.
Animal cloning for the purpose of food production or GMOs is on the agenda. It is an ambush.
It is not up to the European Union to impose novel foods and related legislation in the Member States. A decision of this nature represents a violation of national sovereignty, and so I reiterate my opposition to this report."@en1
