lpv:translated text	"The ethical aspects of the framework programme include my main concern, namely the use of 'surplus' embryos for research purposes. Protection of this God-given life cannot be surrendered. I should like to make three ethical observations. First of all, the Council has failed to give concrete shape to the promised and more detailed guidelines. It is therefore impossible for the European Parliament to react to this at second reading. This is not fair on legislation that comes about via the codecision procedure. Secondly, the European Parliament should, in principle, not allow its opinion-making to be dominated by the divisions in the Council. A possible conciliation would not be the result of the European Parliament's action, but of the Council's reluctant stance with regard to ethics. Thirdly, the problem remains that citizens are to help pay for research that is punishable in a number of Member States. Active support for such controversial research contradicts the Commissioner’s statement to the effect that decisions concerning the permitting of such research must be left to the Member States. My question as to how the European Commission will prevent ethics from being used as a competitive factor remains unanswered."@en1
