(3a) The use of cloning in animal production for farming purposes is allowed in third countries. Food imported from third countries for placing on the market within the Union is to comply with relevant requirements of Union food law or with conditions recognised by the Union to be at least equivalent to those requirements. Therefore, measures should be taken to avoid the importation into the Union of food obtained from animal clones and their descendants which is produced in third countries.
