Z prawnej problematyki klonowania zwierząt oraz produkcji żywności

Abstract

The article reviews the legal approach and the existing legislative framework and the actual practices of farm animal cloning regulation within and outside the European Union. It aims to evaluate the possible results proposed in two schemes of Directive no 892 and 893 in the scope of food safety, human health, and as well as animal welfare. The comparative analysis is based on the regulatory frameworks adopted in US. No binding legal instrument on animal cloning has been introduced in the EU. The proposed directives feature a certain amount of uncertainty and possible gaps, such as cloning food traceability.
