"We had an extensive debate this morning on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes, for experiments which might assist in discovering cures for serious diseases which afflict humans. A majority, a large majority, of Members rejected the suffering of animals that would be used for these purposes. It is at the same time clear that cloning causes serious suffering to animals. More than 95% of cloning experiments fail. Serious diseases and physiological disabilities occur, and these animals die early. Most consumers are against such meat being in the food chain.
As my colleague, Mrs Sommer, said, this is one more serious problem. The development of animal reproduction by cloning opens the door to human reproduction by cloning. This is permitted neither by natural law nor by the Treaty of Lisbon. I would like to ask whether anyone would now like to amend the Treaty of Lisbon in this regard. Commissioner, the position of the European Commission must be clear."@en1
