"Commissioner, I really cannot remember there being such unanimity in this Chamber during any other debate. Why is that? For the very simple reason that there is absolute unanimity among the citizens of the European Union, absolute unanimity against cloned products. You and my honourable friends spoke about the danger of the World Trade Organisation. It is an argument which we have heard time and again in this Chamber, a political argument. However, what the Commission and its legal advisors need to do is not to highlight these fears but to examine how we can achieve the moratorium sought by plenary without encountering such problems. We really must decide which is more important: the World Trade Organisation or the Treaty of Lisbon, which introduces the principle of caution where provision is made to ban the movement of a product on the European market if the scientific data on it are not clear enough to guarantee its safe trade and we do not know exactly what applies to cloned products. We therefore need this moratorium because, as all of us in this Chamber agree, Commissioner, we cannot experiment with the health of European citizens."@en1
