"President-in-Office of the Council, Mr President, President of the Commission, it has been said that this summit too was full of so-called decisions. I wonder what the people of Europe think of an organisation that, summit after summit, continues to take decisions with which the Heads of Government do not even get their own ministers to comply. Is there any proportion between costs and outcome? President Berlusconi, you had an opportunity to put a stop to these meaningless resolutions from the summits, and I regret that you did not take it. I also wish to emphasise that I have criticised previous presidencies on the same account. I believe it is important for the summits to be fundamentally reformed so that people regain their confidence in the EU and its institutions.
President Berlusconi, you emphasised Christian values in your speech. One of the Christian values I believe that everyone, irrespective of their denomination, should profess is that of alleviating suffering as much as possible. I am therefore concerned about the many ongoing attempts to halt new research in genetic engineering in which all types of stem cells are made use of. To promote that research is to reduce suffering."@en1
