lpv:translated text	". I have voted in favour of this report. I very much regret the fact that the Fiori report on the ‘ethical, legal, economic and social implications of human genetics’ has been rejected in plenary session. The problems relating to human genetics should not be dealt with in emotional and simplistic terms. Nevertheless, that seems to be the approach taken by the majority of the MEPs who have voted against this balanced text. This vote represents an unprecedented halt for European research. This will therefore put the Union considerably behind its international partners, and leave many investigations in the air. With regard to the great fundamental principles and universal values which we defend, the European Parliament had the opportunity to totally exclude the risks of eugenics, as well as reproductive cloning, while implementing solid legal safeguards to provide a framework for what is possible and acceptable in genetic research. The European Parliament, by not taking a position on this very topical subject, has shown a lack of courage. This is all the more deplorable when we consider that numerous patients are awaiting the development of new therapies which may offer possibilities to many of them."@en1
