lpv:translated text	"Madam President, probably everyone would agree that information is one of the main driving forces in the modern world. This rule also applies when talking about food safety. We are still considering and, hopefully, will adopt new rules on the provision of general information on foods to consumers, as well as different issues, such as fruit juice and derived products. Unfortunately, it was not possible to reach a compromise with the Council on novel foods and we have taken a step backwards. The majority of consumers do not want food products from cloned animals, but the reality is that they exist. It is therefore essential to ensure that the public is made aware. However, arguing that it could cause difficulties for business and producers, representatives of the Member States did not endorse the requirement for labelling or traceability, in other words, the minimum requirements for being able to ensure consumer awareness. Thus, consumers still have no way of knowing, whether, for example, the milk they are drinking comes from cloned animals. However, this is just one side of the coin. Now we have prevented new technologies, research and the use of results in the food industry. With such disagreement, we ourselves have postponed the solution of these problems indefinitely. We all expect emergency proposals from the European Commission that will help us to eliminate this legal impasse."@en1
