EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2003
Regulation of human embryonic stem cell research in EU Member States
Opinions on the legitimacy of experiments using human embryos are divided according to the different ethical, philosophical, and religious traditions in which they are rooted. EU Member States have taken very different positions regarding the regulation of human embryonic stem cell research.

Taking into account the situation, as of September 2003, the following distinctions can be made:
– Allowing for the procurement of human embryonic stem cells from supernumerary embryos by law under certain conditions: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Greece, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
– Prohibiting the procurement of human ES cells from supernumerary embryos but allowing by law for the import and use of human embryonic stem cell lines under certain conditions: Germany. The import and use of human ES cell lines is not explicitly prohibited in e.g. Austria and France an authorisation is still being discussed.
– Prohibiting the procurement of human ES cells from supernumerary embryos:
Austria, France, Ireland and Spain. The legislation in Spain only allows the procurement
of human ES cell from non-viable human embryos under certain conditions.
– No specific legislation regarding human embryo research or human ES cell
research: Italy, Luxembourg and Portugal.
– Allowing by law for the creation of human embryos for research purposes: UK and Belgium are for the moment the only Member States, which allow by law for the creation of human embryos either by fertilisation of an egg by a sperm, or by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT, also called therapeutic cloning) for stem cell procurement. The Dutch Embryo Act of 2002 includes a five-year moratorium for the creation of embryos for research purposes including by SCNT.
– Prohibiting the creation of human embryos for research purposes and for the procurement of stem cells by law or by ratification of the Convention of the Council of Europe on Human rights and Biomedicine signed in Oviedo on 4 April 1997:
Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal
and Spain.
