Delivering their final verdict on the issue, MEPs also called for a ban on farming cloned animals and their offspring.
The European Parliament also moved to ban imports of products made from cloned animals, their offspring, semen and embryos.
The call comes after the US Food and Drug Administration concluded in January that meat and milk from clones of cattle, pigs and goats was safe.
