The European Commission announced on the 19 October 2010 that it would propose a temporary suspension of animal cloning for food production in the EU. The Commission also planned to suspend temporarily the use of cloned farm animals and the marketing of food from clones. All temporary measures will be reviewed after five years. The establishment of a traceability system for imports of reproductive materials for clones, such as semen and embryos of clones was also envisaged. The system would allow farmers and industry to set up database with the animals that would emerge from these reproductive materials. |
