".
I should like to re-read the statement I made at this debate this morning. The Commission has included the following statement in the Council’s Minutes: ‘In accordance with the opinion of the European Parliament concerning the proposal on the Sixth Framework Programme and taking into account the opinion of the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies, the Commission believes that research in the following areas must not be financed by the framework programme: research activity aiming at human cloning for reproductive purposes, research activity resulting in the modification of the genetic heritage of human beings, which could make such changes hereditary, research activity to create embryos solely for research purposes or to supply stem cells, including somatic cell nuclear transfer’ and, of course, an article on animal experiments which must be replaced. This is the approach that we are taking.
As I said, however, each programme, each project in these areas can – and, in fact, must – be examined by an ad hoc ethics committee. It is not possible therefore to think too far ahead on this type of proposal which could be made at European level. In each Member State, research can of course be carried out in accordance with the legislation of each Member State. But at European level, this is the approach which seems to be most acceptable to everyone, or at least by a majority of MEPs and certainly by a majority of Council members."@en1
