"Transplants and organ donation save and prolong the lives of thousands of European citizens every year. It is unfortunate that thousands of other patients die while waiting for a transplant, even though there are compatible donors available in the European Union. This is a difficult and controversial issue which raises important questions. Parliament confirms through this report a common viewpoint, which is that any commercial element in this process which may lead to the sale and purchase of organs is illegal.
It is vital for us to approve and implement an effective system as quickly as possible, not only because we will save patients’ lives, but also because such a system will reduce the request for organs which, otherwise, will be obtained illegally for profit and even against the donors’ will."@en1
