"I would like to welcome the drafting of this report, primarily because it makes significant improvements to the health care system in the EU. This report encourages Member States to devote the appropriate attention to harvesting stem cells from umbilical cord blood at birth and to promote better and wider cooperation between family and public banks.
At the present juncture when, contrary to current transplant legislation, there are still states where the trade in tissue and organs is freely conducted, it is of paramount importance to create the legal framework promoting the transparent, safe operation of tissue and cell banks for patients. The situation must be avoided where these banks are turned into profitable businesses, abusing the precarious financial position of some sections of the population. Since, in the majority of cases, the number of donors is not large enough in a Member State, the health authorities must introduce clear criteria for tissue and cell donations so as to protect the poor section of the population against abuses. Furthermore, let us not forget that it is vitally important for donors to be fully informed not only about the procedures used in the tissue and cell donation process, but also about the moral, psychological, medical and social consequences of their actions."@en1
