lpv:translated text	". Biotechnology is, without doubt, one of the most important technologies for the future and as such needs to be backed up by an appropriate political framework. Ethical, environmental and health aspects must also be taken on board. One of the most significant problems in this area is that of patents. We believe that under no circumstances should human life, including human DNA, be patented. We therefore voted against all of the proposals paving the way for the patenting of genes and of life itself, and regret the fact, moreover, that in the final resolution there was a degree of ambiguity that could leave that door open to such patenting, even though its purpose was to prevent another proposal with more serious consequences. We stand in clear opposition to any patents covering life and knowledge that we consider a universal good. A further area for debate is that of ethical principles. Stem cell research should not be blocked, although we are opposed to human cloning, as referred to in the resolution. We ultimately abstained on the resolution, on account of its contradictory aspects in relation to our positions of principle."@en1
