"Madam President, are we really surprised that we did not reach agreement? Certainly, my view from the outside was that there were too many differences around the table, and I am not sure that starting at 7 p.m. a meeting which was doomed to fail at 7 a.m. was such a great idea, but we still have to resolve this particular problem and perhaps dividing the legislation into two parts might achieve it.
The issue of cloning is a very sensitive issue, and there are animal welfare concerns which others have spoken about, but the issue of reproductive material needs to be addressed. We need clarity as to how this can be addressed within the WTO rules, because farmers in Europe want access to the best technologies available to them to be more productive. So, within that framework, we do have issues to resolve here in this House, and I hope that they can be resolved satisfactorily.
Finally, on the issue of Europe’s standards versus the rest of the world, we import meat products into the European Union. Are we as clear about what we are importing as we are demanding about what is produced within the EU itself? This is also an issue which needs to be addressed."@en1
