"(
) For obvious ethical reasons, human cloning must be completely banned. We cannot allow any remaining doubts on this matter. Unfortunately, the Seventh Framework Programme and certain amendments proposed to us today do foster doubt, by only excluding cloning for reproductive purposes from Community funding, and not excluding cloning for therapeutic purposes. This semi-legitimation is dangerous. It is based on the idea that a human being, if not yet developed, may be considered as a simple material, and this is unacceptable.
What is more, this Programme also provides for the possibility of funding research on embryonic stem cells. I know, although I do not approve of it, that certain Member States of the European Union authorise this. It is inappropriate, in the context of a vote on research funding, to make pronouncements on the legislation of Member States. However, countries that forbid these practices should not be forced to finance them using Community funds, and this type of research should, therefore, not benefit from the resources of the Seventh Framework Programme for RTD.
This is why we have voted against these provisions, reserving our approval for other research programmes mentioned in the report."@en1
