patient involvement. Rapporteur on the cloning of animals for farming purposes She is Parliament's S&D group shadow rapporteur on the cloning of animals for farming purposes and has repeatedly stated that EU rules on cloning animals for food must reflect citizens' concerns. Supporting Romanian workers’ rights in Europe Politically, she has been very active in supporting Romanian workers’ rights in Europe, in the context of the rising extremist voices in the EU and especially around the deadline for lifting temporary restrictions on Romanian and Bulgarian workers in the United Kingdom. She published an article in The Parliament Magazine, where she stated: "The fueling of xenophobic fear, spiced up with apocalyptic terminology that conflates migration with conflict and disaster, isn't just factually inaccurate, it is irresponsible and dangerous. It fosters a deeply divisive, and, at times, hysterical debate which risks handing a victory to the extremist political parties which embody such rhetoric in their policies". In 2015, following a derogatory statement by Nigel Farage against foreign-born doctors working in the UK, Daciana Sarbu has written a letter addressed to several UK medical organisations, asking for their cooperation in defending the image of immigrant doctors and nurses working in the UK: "As a Romanian citizen, I feel even more obliged to protest against such claims, since the insult is also directed at Romanian doctors and nurses who have left their families behind and work tirelessly every day in your country. I know that there is great appreciation in the UK for medical staff from my country, not only since they are the product of a highly regarded medical education system, but also for their consistently good work and integrity. Romanian doctors and nurses working abroad are honest, reliable and exceptionally well-trained".
