lpv:translated text	". Various Dutch fellow MEPs have made statements in the media to the effect that the Liberal Group refuses to prescribe ethical limits for scientific research. Our voting behaviour has proved that this is nonsense. First of all, adopted Amendment No 41 has a liberal pedigree. It demands that both during the implementation of the programme and for the results, the ethical basic principles, such as protection of human dignity, data and privacy are adhered to. Additionally, with regard to stem cell research, the guidelines drawn up by the ESF ethical committee must be observed. Furthermore, our group wanted to adopt Amendment No 22 of the Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy, which prevents funding being channelled into research activity aiming at human cloning for reproductive purposes, the creation of embryos for research purposes and eugenic modifications in the genetic heritage. Unfortunately, the restrictive text of Amendment No 322 has been adopted in which therapeutic cloning has been ruled out. We regret this, precisely because therapeutic cloning offers genuine opportunities for patients suffering from Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, AIDS or diabetes. We have therefore abstained from the final vote."@en1
