"Mr President, during the last election in Ireland, embryo stem cell research was a hugely controversial topic. This time, medicine is scarcely being mentioned as the elections take place. Obviously, the economy has taken centre stage, but also medical science has moved on considerably. We are very fortunate with the quality of medical research we have in various institutions throughout the European Union, and also with the quality of medical practitioners. Cord blood stem cells are one example of where progress has been made. It has been said that this research has the potential to help deal with 70 to 80 diseases. That is something that we should encourage, and therefore it is important that this type of research and facility be made available – obviously within ethical constraints. As you pointed out, Commissioner, much of this will depend on the Member States themselves, in terms both of application, in particular, and also of follow-up in due course."@en1
