"Madam President, the President-in-Office of the Council spoke about the need not to point a finger of blame, but I think it is time for some intellectual honesty.
We all agree, yes, that we should not eat clones, but we all know that nobody is going to eat clones. Another big sticking point in the negotiations was the Council’s failure to act on the import of embryos and semen into the EU, which allows farmers to breed offspring of clones. Those offspring are bred from clones who have suffered to be born.
Commissioner, is it not true that we have, or soon will have, EU laws which prohibit the placing on the market of products from seals, of dog and cat fur, and of cosmetics which are tested on animals? We have those laws, so why can we not have a law which prohibits the placing on the EU market of products which result from the cruel practice of cloning?
I agree with Ms Liotard. This is not a matter for the World Trade Organisation: it is a matter of political will, and we can show that, and that is what will satisfy this Parliament, and that is the basis for agreement."@en1
