Dear Sir, Madam
I am a reporter reading your interesting document REGULATING FARM ANIMAL CLONING.
I am writing an article about the issue at this moment and would very much appreciate your answers to these very short questions I have.
- In your report you write that there is a possibility that international conflicts concerning free trade might be avoided if the current legislatio is maitained. Yet, you say, food thats cloned (and endorsed by outside regulators) could still be a possibility. You say a dowside of this is that internal conflicts within the EU might occur. The same tensions might arise if cloninng of animals is introduced into agricultural production here in europe. What weighs heavier in the current debate, the local objections or the international trade advantage/disadvantage?
Have there been corporate applications for the marketing of this meat in the EU?
You conducted the research in part to stimulate informed public debate across Europe on these issues involving key stakeholders, university students and members of the public. Can I find out more about this? Which key stakeholders/members of the public have you targeted? What were their responses.
In the US there have been public surveys by IFIC and other institutions. Which institute here would be conductinng this?
