lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to start by congratulating the Commission on its proposal and on the speech of the Commissioner presenting it to the House as well. Mr Liese has certainly striven and is continuing to strive to achieve an acceptable compromise in the House, but I believe that the greatest threat to the quest for such a compromise and to the thorough work of the Commission and many of the Members of the House is the attempt – made by some of the Members – to include issues in the report which have nothing to do with the directive. In particular, I feel that Mr Bartolozzi’s opinion and the position of many of the Members who have attempted and are still attempting to surreptitiously introduce the issue of the interruption of pregnancy and embryonic stem cells into the directive are severely jeopardising the good work which many of the Members are striving to carry out. For our part, as Radical members of the Emma Bonino List, we can only vote against all the amendments which seek to introduce such issues in this way. This does not mean – and I am addressing Mrs Montfort and the other Members who have raised the point – that we are claiming that embryonic stem cells are the magic answer to all genetically-related problems and disorders; we merely feel that these research possibilities should not be eliminated and that they should certainly not be eliminated through a directive which is concerned with other matters, which seeks to regulate pragmatically a promising market and an activity which is necessary for the life and health of many European citizens. We must not become a Parliament which persists in making every vote a vote on a moral principle, as if we were trying to establish a ‘single European moral code’. Let us rather find political, pragmatic, practical solutions to the issues raised by the directive, which, through the directive, the Commission is attempting to resolve."@en1
