The Tánaiste said that if the Council votes against the proposals it is still open to the Commission to activate the research once the moratorium comes to an end. In other words, if the Council votes no, there is a strong risk this research will go ahead anyway without any guidelines. Most people who support the European Union would have to ask how it is possible that a proposal voted down under QMV by the Council of Ministers, can be reactivated by the Commission and brought to a full decision when the framework upon which we make our decisions in the European Union has said the opposite. The Tánaiste should refer to that again. If the Governments of Europe have taken the view that they are not going ahead with the funding at this stage, although they may go ahead with funding at some point in the future, how can the Commission then violate that by reactivating that proposal?
