Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I voted in favour of the report by Mr Adamou on ‘Organ donation and transplantation: Policy actions at EU level, on organ donation and transplantation: Policy actions at EU level’ for therapeutic purposes, which emphasises the importance of healthcare for citizens at EU and global level.
Consequently I believe that continuing efforts on research are necessary, in order to keep developing new treatment possibilities and better technical and organisational procedures for transplants, by coordinating projects and programmes, including between Member States.
I also believe it is of fundamental importance to promote the culture of organ donation by conducting awareness campaigns so that the increase in donations continues, and that this should include a reminder to citizens that they are four times more likely to receive an organ than to have to donate one.
Finally, I would underline the absolute importance of combating organ trafficking both within and outside the EU, by recognising that this unlawful action is always synonymous with poverty and desperation."@en1
