lpv:translated text	"Mr President, in May of every year, we debate in this Chamber the EU’s economic policy guidelines. Today, it looks like it would be more appropriate to talk about ethics rather than the economy. There are many things in the Goebbels report with which I can identify. I endorse the integration of social policy and concern being expressed about insufficient progress in the area of investments in order to comply with Kyoto. This is where Mr Goebbels should have stopped, though. I agree with Mrs Lambert that this report goes much too far in one particular area. In Modification 12, the rapporteur argues in favour of more objective information about the controversial research into genetically modified organisms and about embryonic stem cell research. I think we have better things to do than to promote controversial research. To me, it is of the essence that, in stem cell research, the value of human life is central, and this is inconsistent with research on embryos that are destroyed in the process. In previously adopted documents, this House has clearly spoken out about the place of stem cell research. Consequently, the text of this resolution is not in line with those documents. For example, on 10 March, this House adopted a resolution about the trade in human egg cells, and paragraph 15 of this resolution emphatically specifies that embryonic stem cell research can be left to the Member States, where that is permitted. The Member State ‘can’ do this research, but does not need to. That is a clear distinction that is lacking in this resolution. I will withhold my support for this resolution if Mrs Van den Burg’s Modification 12 and Amendment 24 are adopted as they are."@en1
