"I wish to express my satisfaction at the fact that the Group of the Party of European Socialists’ Amendment No 5 was voted down (by 229 votes, with 209 in favour and 22 abstentions). This criticised the Italian Presidency for not having pressed for the Sixth Framework Programme of Research to be adopted concerning research on embryonic stem cells. In Member States such as Germany, Austria, Portugal and Ireland, it is illegal, and in the case of Ireland even a violation of the constitution, to conduct research on human embryos. It is therefore extremely positive, and in the spirit of the healthy European idea, that a majority of the European Parliament is showing respect for these countries’ legislation and is not forcing their taxpayers to fund an illegal activity. The Italian Presidency’s efforts in the Council regarding this point cannot therefore be criticised in the way that the PSE Group tried to criticise them. On the contrary, their efforts can be seen as laudable and as commanding respect."@en1
