In September 2000 rapporteur Liese secured the support of a small majority in this Parliament for his rejection of the use of human material as a means of curing disease and rectifying abnormalities in human bodies. Even scientific research to this end was to be banned. This position was rejected by the United Left, the Social Democrats and the Liberals. It nonetheless secured a majority because the Greens supported the Christian Democrats. My party too, the Socialist Party in the Netherlands, is not in the least enthusiastic about the therapeutic cloning of people. Commercial and industrial cloning or cloning to create people with certain characteristics are also unacceptable to us. But a solution must be found for people who need a new heart, kidney or liver and also for Parkinson’s disease sufferers. This time Mr Liese has steered a slightly more middle course and made agreements with the Social Democrats. Although this compromise can now secure a broad majority, I do not support it. It is now above all a question of centralising all the decisions at EU level, and making them uniform, at the expense of the freedom of the Member States. This proposal provides too few solutions and too many prohibitions. This will prevent Member States from adopting a vanguard position in the difficult search for solutions."@en1
