The Council Presidency thanks Mr Posselt for calling our attention to such an important issue. Human cloning and its prohibition does not fall within the competences of the European Union, as we all know. Nevertheless, in this respect the Presidency would remind you of the principles enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union: Article 1 lays down that human dignity is inviolable and must be respected and protected; Article 3 lays down, moreover, that, in the fields of medicine and biology, the prohibition on
eugenic practices must be respected, in particular those aiming at the selection of persons, the prohibition on making the human body and its parts a source of financial gain and the prohibition on the reproductive cloning of human beings. I can answer that – apart from a deep-rooted value that I personally feel inside – the prohibition on the reproductive cloning of human beings is clearly laid down by Article 3 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union."@en1
