Cloning of animals of the bovine, porcine, ovine, caprine and equine species kept and reproduced for farming purposes

The dossier concerns the cloning of bovine, porcine, ovine, caprine and equine animals kept and reproduced for farming purposes. The amendments would extend the scope to further species, prohibit placing on the market and importing animal and embryo clones, their descendants, germinal products and food, require traceability of semen, eggs and embryos under the precautionary principle, and provide exemptions for research, rare breeds and medicinal products.
