lpv:translated text	"I have voted in favour of the report. It is extremely positive that the fifth part of Amendment No 27, which emphasises that it is research on adult stem cells that is to be given priority within biotechnology, has been adopted. In other words, the deeply controversial research on embryo stem cells, about which ethical questions have been raised, is to be given a secondary role, which is something I welcome. Embryo stem cell research is prohibited in many Member States. All the major Christian churches, especially the Roman Catholic Church in its ethical teaching, reject methods that use fertilised embryos – future persons with all their genetic make-up – for research purposes. The project it is planned to carry out in Spain would involve using Community funds to subsidise continued and unsustainable over-consumption of water for intensive agriculture and mass tourism. The project is in danger of affecting areas bordering on the delta of the River Ebros, which are very valuable in terms of their bio-diversity in general and bird life in particular. The project has also met with very well-founded criticism from a large part of the research community in Spain. Against that background, I believe that the Community’s structural funds should instead support alternatives such as sustainable planning for water treatment in towns, the modernisation of irrigation methods, the integrated treatment of ground and surface water etc. I would therefore depart from the position adopted by the Group of the European People’s Party and European Democrats."@en1
