"Mr President, the news in recent weeks that initiatives to clone human beings are taking place in different parts of the world is very disturbing indeed. I very much welcome the support that has been given by the European Parliament and the European Commission to promote a worldwide ban on human cloning. We need to implement the necessary measures to stop those seeking to clone human beings in their tracks. It is an abhorrent and unethical practice which is totally irresponsible from a scientific point of view. We need to implement a worldwide convention which will ban human cloning within the next few months. The international community must act on this issue immediately. Only last November the European Parliament voted in favour of a proposal which I tabled calling for a universal ban on the cloning of human beings. We must work now towards achieving this objective via the structures of the United Nations. I would call on this Parliament and on your good offices, Mr President, to forward that immediately as a matter of urgency."@en1
