"The principle of voluntary and unpaid donation of tissues and cells is an absolute principle that should not be challenged. However, we cannot ignore the shortage of cells and tissues when numerous patients have immediate requirements and waiting lists are getting longer and longer. Donations are essential for transplants and for the treatment of patients suffering from cardiac conditions, leukaemia, genetic conditions and so forth. There are systems and information campaigns in place, but they are insufficient from one country to another. Improved cooperation between Member States is therefore essential in order to facilitate cross-border donations. Establishments have a part to play in encouraging donations of tissues and cells, notably donations of umbilical cord blood. By changing current perceptions, and showing that umbilical cords are a resource for research, we will be able to save lives."@en1
