Should cloned animals be used for food?

Agriculture - Dolly the sheep was the first and most famous animal clone, created back in 1996. Since then, cows, pigs, goats, horses, mice, cats and dogs have also been cloned.

The Commission proposes concrete action for sustainable development and a fairer world

How should we be tackling the problem of poverty? What is the best way of managing our natural resources and the environment? How should we finance development? With an eye to the forthcoming major international events at which these and other questions will be discussed the Monterrey Conference on development financing (March 2002), the World Summit for sustainable development (in September 2002), and the practical application of the Doha development agenda of November 2001, the European Commission is proposing a first set of responses, making a forceful case for multilateralism as the only effective way of addressing these global challenges. The three communications which the Commission today adopted, at the initiative of President Romano Prodi, the Member of the Commission responsible for economic and monetary affairs, Pedro Solbes and the Member responsible for development and humanitarian aid, Poul Nielson, will be widely discussed within civil society and by the public at large.

Commission welcomes Council and Parliament approval of new Spirit Drinks regulation

European Union agriculture ministers today reached political agreement on the new Spirit Drinks regulation, thereby sealing a first reading agreement between the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament. The new regulation enhances the clarity of EU legislation on spirit drinks, combines two previous regulations into one and adapts the rules to take account of technical changes, WTO requirements and the EU's system of geographical indications. The new regulation sets out clear definitions for all spirit drinks, and should help producers market their products while providing new clarity for consumers. One of the main points of discussion since the proposal was tabled by the Commission in December 2005 has been the definition of vodka. The new regulation leaves the current definition unchanged, but changes slightly the labelling requirements. In future, vodka made from cereals or potatoes will be labelled simply as vodka. Vodka based on other raw materials will bear the indication "produced from" supplemented by the name of the raw material used. This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
