"I am very much in favour of this report, which strongly states its opposition to payment for donations of tissues and cells. These donations are essential for transplants and the treatment of numerous patients. Despite structures and information campaigns, approximately half the Member States continually report shortages of tissues and cells, including bone marrow and gametes. To date, over 20 000 transplants of cells derived from umbilical cord blood have been carried out across the world over the last 20 years, to cure leukaemia and lymphoma, genetic conditions and immune deficiencies. Yet too few mothers are asked by midwives to donate umbilical cord blood during childbirth. Member States should strive to ensure that umbilical cord blood is no longer considered hospital waste, but a real resource for research. Public and private umbilical cord and stem cell banks should cooperate more effectively. It is important that a regulatory framework for Member States is developed quickly in order for these establishments to operate in a transparent and safe manner. Establishments should respect the principles of fair access to treatment and solidarity."@en1
