". The report on the quality and safety of tissues and cells concerns a rather technical, but extremely sensible, proposal for a directive. The Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy and the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market have, however, turned this directive into a manifesto mixing so-called ethical considerations with a genuine attack on research into life sciences, while riding roughshod over the principle of subsidiarity. If nobody in the European Parliament wishes to defend human cloning, we cannot resolve this issue by the back door, in other words by the roundabout means of a recital or article referring to another subject. In particular, we cannot erect Community barriers to research into embryonic stem cells. If some States wish to ban this kind of research at national level, they are free to do so and do not require an authorisation from the European Parliament. In any case, the biotechnological revolution will take place with or without Europe. It would therefore be preferable for Europe not to become entangled in further rearguard action."@en1
