Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Engagement with Mr. Vytenis Andriukaitis, European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety

12:00 pm

Dr. Vytenis Andriukaitis:

It is a very sensitive issue and from an ethical point of view, it is very complex. Most of my colleagues would say that it is for national Governments to regulate in this area. It is a big issue, from my point of view. We must consider it and have a set of ethical discussions at EU level also. We cannot shy away from it but must seek to be part of the debate. It is a very controversial area but I will actively engage in any discussions. We must discuss these issues because they are very serious.
