"Madam President, my group takes the opposite view, to the effect that it is important to vote upon a resolution.
In the first place, it is not the first time that Parliament has given an opinion on the subject of human cloning. On several occasions since the advent of Dolly we have voted on a number of resolutions. If anyone adopted a unilateral stance on these occasions, it was the British Government which, without any prior consultation whatsoever, adopted a position in favour of therapeutic cloning.
We therefore consider that a reaction from the European Parliament which does not close the door on the debate is a useful move. When I say we must not close the door, clearly the suggestion of a temporary committee must not be rejected out of hand. I am not saying that I am for or against that, but I do think that it would be a good idea for Parliament to deliver its opinion by some means other than an inconclusive debate."@en1
