lpv:translated text	"On 8 December 1999, the European Patent Office approved ‘by mistake’ Patent No EP 69 53 51 concerning the genetic manipulation of human cells and embryos. As a Swedish Social Democratic Member of the European Parliament, I have supported that resolution which now very firmly repudiates the European Patent Office’s decision, a decision which is contrary to people’s moral concepts and to EU and national legislation concerning patent law which applies within the European Union. By means of this explanation of vote, I want to express my anger and very deep disappointment at the fact that the European Patent Office can deal with a question about life itself in such a totally and indefensibly careless and negligent way. At the same time, I presume that the European Patent Office as an authority, and its representatives personally, are drawing the necessary conclusions from what has happened. This totally unacceptable decision on a patent concerning the genetic manipulation of human cells and embryos must consequently be rescinded and revoked as soon as possible, and this in order to protect life, the greatest and most sacred gift we have."@en1
