"Madam President, a huge amount of work has gone into this regulation, both by Mrs Liotard and by the shadow rapporteurs. Many thanks for that. Unfortunately, it all ended, as we know, in disagreements about food from cloned animals. I come from a country where food from cloned animals is prohibited. However, cloning is nevertheless coming in through the back door. The subject is often brought up in guarded secrecy outside the debate. I find it strange that we want total transparency in everything from socks and television to medicines and banks, but when it comes to food, the situation is completely different.
Colourants, gases to increase shelf life, growth hormones, antibiotics, GMOs and much more besides are used – preferably without consumers being able to read about it on the packaging. Why is no one interested in ensuring that foodstuffs are as natural as possible? Why do we not pay more attention to our own health and welfare and that of our productive livestock? I cannot understand why so little responsibility is shown for the health of children and adults in certain European circles."@en1
