"The implementation of the financial rules applicable to the annual budget of the Union must comply with ruling C-34/10 of the European Court of Justice. It ruled that human life starts at conception and that the human embryo is worthy of legal protection. The Court writes: ‘Any human ovum after fertilisation, any non-fertilised human ovum into which the cell nucleus from a mature human cell has been transplanted, and any non-fertilised human ovum whose division and further development have been stimulated by parthenogenesis constitute a “human embryo”.’ The Court points out that the EU legislator has sought to exclude any possibility of patenting so long as respect for human dignity could be jeopardised. This ruling must be fully applied immediately to the research projects financed by the current EU budget, including with a view to the programming of the Eighth Research Framework Programme. I call on the Commission to submit a draft framework programme which focuses on the ethical alternatives of fundamental research. Many examples of serious scientific research prove that biomedical research is possible without using human embryos. Europe can be proud of its capacity for competitive scientific research that respects universal ethical principles."@en1
