lpv:translated text	"I have supported the rapporteur, Mr Liese, from the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats in his ambition to introduce stricter ethical guidelines for the EU’s funding and monitoring of research. In the same spirit, I have voted in favour of Amendments 37 to 44, which were signed by myself and many other MEPs and which have been rejected. In the final vote, I voted against the report as a whole. It was, however, adopted by 298 votes in favour, 214 votes against and 21 abstentions. Research into embryonic stem cells is incompatible with the Irish Constitution and banned by law in Germany, Austria and Portugal. In accordance with the principle of subsidiarity and in view of the big differences in the Member States’ legislation on research involving the use of human embryos, it should be up to each Member State to decide for itself whether it is to fund such research using national funds. It is therefore unfair to those states that ban research into embryonic stem cells to compel their citizens to contribute to the EU’s common research budget for an activity that is illegal in their countries. Such coercion is also contrary to the spirit of European cooperation. My hope is therefore that the Council will reject the European Parliament’s majority view. We believe that priority should be given to the ethically and legislatively uncontroversial research using adult stem cells."@en1
