广安市2015高考英语阅读理解基础练习（4）及答案 【2015高考复习】阅读理解 The European union announced plans on Tuesday to temporarily ban the use of animals cloning for food eroduction.while allowing imports of food derived from the offspring(后代)of clones from the United States and elsewhere. The report from the European Commission followed a call by EU lawmakers in July for a total ban on food derived from cloned animals and their traditionally bred offspring，citing ethical concerns over the industrial production of cloned meat. The Commission said a temporary five-year EU ban on cloning for food production was justified on animal welfare grounds，but said banning imports of food from the offspring of clones was unnecessary and would disrupt global trade. “Food from cloned animals is safe.In fact，the scientific opinion is that it cannot be differentiated in any way from food from normally bred animals.The issue is animal welfare”，EU Health and Consumer Commissioner John Dalli told reporters. Food derived from the offspring of clones presents no such animal welfare issues，and banning its sale and import would be impossible because the origin is untraceable，Dalli said. “Such a prohibition would lead to a ban of imports of any food of animal origin (meat，milk and processed products) from third countries allowing the cloning technique，”the report said. “Were not going to regulate for the world，”Dalli added. But animal welfare groups criticized the Commissions decision，saying it had bowed to pressure from third countries. “We do not accept the Commissions position that it would be impossible to enforce a ban that includes the offspring of cloned animals，as (other) meat traceability systems are already in place，”said Sonja Van Tichelen，director of the Eurogroup for Animals. 【语篇读】　欧盟委员会近日宣布，欧盟在今后5年暂停将克隆动物用于食品生产，但是克隆动物通过传统方式繁殖的后代用于食品生产和销售不在禁止之列。这一决议受到动物保护者们的谴责。 ．From the passage we can infer that the ban is________.
