Recital 3
(3) Taking into account ethical objections, the objectives of the Union's agricultural policy, the results of the recent scientific assessments of EFSA and the animal welfare requirement provided in Article 13 of the Treaty, it is prudent to provisionallyessential to prohibit the use of cloning in animal production for farm purposes of certain species. The Union should make the utmost effort to seek support in international fora for a worldwide ban on cloning for the above reasons and, in addition, a level playing field.
