".
We share the concern about adopting more rigorous criteria for the acceptability of donors and about establishing a Community-level quality control system for blood-collecting institutions. The same applies to setting common standards for staff training and the traceability of blood from donor to patient.
We are also pleased with the amendments approved in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy with regard to the crucial
voluntary unpaid donation
of blood, the principle of subsidiarity and the professional qualifications of those working in this sector. The issues of whether blood should be given for free and the voluntary nature of blood donations are of fundamental importance. We welcome the fact, therefore, that the specialist committee has changed its initial definition, produced at first reading, establishing a very clear distinction between payment for blood per se and reimbursing expenses incurred by the donor. We also supported this approach in the final vote in plenary. Furthermore, the Member States must be able to lay down their own, more rigorous, requirements in the field of voluntary and unremunerated donations and to ban or restrict imports of blood and blood products which fail to meet their own requirements."@en1
