"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, first of all I congratulate the rapporteurs, because we welcome the seventh framework programme. At last, we have the first practical and effective instrument for revitalising European competitiveness at a global level and an important stimulus for investment in innovation to support European businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises. This is a first step on the way to achieving the Lisbon objectives, about which there has been a lot of talk so far, but very little has been accomplished. Indeed, for the sake of Europe’s growth and development, it is crucial to finance programmes directed at technological development and scientific research. That is also why it is essential that the programme should aim at enhancing human resources and especially at encouraging young people to take up a career in research, thus preventing the brain drain. It must be made clear, however, that the seventh framework programme must under no circumstances fund research into human cloning, genetic mutations or the use of embryonic stem cells. We have therefore signed some amendments that clarify how the funds are to be spent, in accordance with national legislations. Research must certainly move ahead, but that must not occur at just any price. We have to take a clear, uncompromising stand against any funding of research involving manipulation of genetic or embryonic material, which not only goes against ethical values and respect for human life and dignity, but is also a threat to public health."@en1
