"In my view, the Yannakoudakis report is extremely important at this point in time, when the demand for organs, blood and bone marrow is increasing and the advance of medical science allows for their optimum use in saving human lives. Awareness of, and confidence in, public institutions which collect information and biological data regarding potential donors are key to reducing the gap between supply and demand of transplant material. This will certainly limit the trade in tissue and cells and reduce ‘transplant tourism’. Clear rules in relation to compensation and medical care provided for donors will also guarantee the comfort and safety of those who decide to help save the lives of others. We should also strongly emphasise the ethical aspect of voluntary donation and call on the European Commission and the Member States to guarantee broader access to information regarding transplantation and donation. In my view, regardless of the systems used in individual Member States for the donation of organs, tissue or post mortem cells, whether based on informed or presumed consent, the Member States and the Commission should undertake a comprehensive information campaign aimed at promoting the declaration of consent among EU citizens. This declaration would be a clear signal to doctors and family members of a person’s willingness to become a donor after death."@en1
