lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of the report on organ donation and transplantation: Policy actions at EU level, presented by m Mr Adamou. As we all know, organ transplants can save lives and improve the day-to-day existence of many of our fellow citizens. However, the EU is currently suffering from a chronic shortage of organs: today 40 000 patients are waiting for a transplant and it is estimated that 10 of them die each day. We have tackled this problem in particular by considering measures such as the introduction of a European donor card, stepping up cooperation between Member States, raising public awareness, establishing a transplant ‘hotline’ and promoting biotechnology research which may in future allow organs to be grown rather than donated. However, the need to make up for this organ shortage should not lead us to sacrifice our values. I am delighted with the fact that this text insists on voluntary, unpaid and wherever possible anonymous donation, inviting Member States to fight more effectively against organ trafficking and transplant tourism."@en1
