lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we are discussing this topic here today, partly because the European Union makes funds available for research into embryonic stem cells. I have on a previous occasion expressed my surprise at this in this House, because this research is banned in some Member States and is incompatible with the resolution against all forms of human cloning which was adopted in the General Assembly today. In addition, there is the commercial exploitation of women who, attracted by payment of hefty sums, donate egg cells without precise knowledge of the medical risks involved to which they are exposing themselves. It is clear to me that the trade in egg cells and human embryos should be stopped as quickly as possible. The Commission would, however, do well to examine whether or not it is itself partly responsible for this, because it uses European funds to promote research which is punishable in some Member States. It appears to me that the subsidiarity principle is being ignored, because this is not a problem that cannot be resolved at Member State level. Commissioner, can you share your view on this trade and can you confirm that research is only funded if this research is permitted in all the Union’s Member States? Are you prepared to adhere to the resolution adopted today in the UN’s General Assembly in which an appeal is made to take measures in order to prevent the exploitation of women?"@en1
