"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, of course our group broadly supports the Sixth Framework Programme and the objective that is being formalised here of more financial resources for European research policy. We are aware of the enormous importance of this programme for scientific research in the Union and that this is a crucial step in establishing the European research area.
The reason for my speaking, however, if only for a minute, is once again to draw attention to the ethical issues that cannot be ignored. Our group feels that the wording of Article 3 is unsatisfactory. Hence our insistence on tabling Amendment No 89, which presents a solution that is, in our opinion, correct: the principle of legislative unanimity. This ethical question is extremely sensitive and we must trust the decisions that the various Member States take at the highest level on this issue. To this extent, we feel that European research funds must only be used for those objectives and in accordance with those methods and means that are not deemed to be illegal in any Member State."@en1
