"I have been involved in the issue of blood donation for many years in the Italian Parliament, including setting up a parliamentary group belonging to AVIS, the principle Italian donor organisation. Over the years the task has involved the passing of and subsequent amendments to what is known as the ‘Law on blood’. I formed the opinion then that increased European harmonisation of the sector’s rules is vital, not just because of European citizenship which compels us to take the same attitude in dealing with problems of human health in Europe, but also because common rules are indispensable when faced with serious illnesses – AIDS, BSE – and a worldwide market in blood which must also take account of scientific progress (artificial blood, human blood produced from stem cells) Our amendments to the directive satisfy those, like me, who have always fought to strengthen public policy in favour of non-remunerated voluntary donation. It might perhaps have been possible to do a little more, providing funds to promote initiatives in support of voluntary blood donation, but we are still taking a good step forward."@en1
