lpv:translated text	"Mr President, of course, I too agree with what has been said with regard to the importance of us building up these cord blood cell banks for both research and treatment. These stem cells are easy to get hold of if someone is prepared to do it, and I personally do not believe that this should even be treated as a transplant matter. In fact, I believe we should simply be able to take these cells and that parents should be able to oppose this, but they should not need to give their consent. I think that this aspect is less important. I do, however, think it is important that – in addition to the safety measures that Mr Liese and others drew attention to – we remember that we still do not know very much about the possibilities for development in this field. It is therefore important for us to have these banks. I believe, first and foremost, that these banks should, of course, be public, as they are something that we should be able to use for everyone. By far the largest area of application will be the treatment of other people. However, it is also important that we draw attention to the fact that there are pitfalls here. We have seen cases of attempts being made to get parents to pay a kind of security for their child by having a ‘reserve store’ for the child placed in a bank. Doing so is to pay unnecessarily. It is quite rare for someone to need to have their own child treated in this way, and I firmly believe that these banks should be established primarily for the purpose of general research and general treatment. That should be the opening that we aim for. I feel that we could almost be deceiving parents if they believe that they will be able to invest a great deal in the protection of their own child. They should invest cord blood for the protection of the public in general and I very much hope that we will be able to make this more widely available. It is a shame that such an important substance that we have available to us right now simply goes to waste because too little attention is paid to it."@en1
