In February 2007, Raël, who wanted to start commercial activities with Swiss vintners, was denied residence in the Swiss Canton [[Valais]], in part because he was feared to be endangering public values by promoting sexual liberty and the education of children on how to obtain sexual pleasure. Also cited was his association with the [[Clonaid]] [[human cloning]] claim; Switzerland forbade human cloning. In a brief statement, Raël said he considered appeal at the European level.<ref name="Cult"/>
