lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the report and the proposal for a directive are important from health and safety points of view. The rapporteur, Mr Liese, has added some important dimensions by also choosing to address the ethical aspects of a number of points. Firstly, a new introductory recital on the human body, reading as follows, has been incorporated from the Charter on Human Rights: ‘The human body is inviolable and inalienable. It is prohibited to make the human body and its parts as such a source of financial gain’. Secondly, Amendment No 79 proposes the compilation of a code of conduct, if possible at UN level, for the protection of human dignity. The amendment states that account should be taken of principles involving, for example, a ban on making the human body or its parts as such a source of financial gain, of the principle of informed consent and of that involving a ban on cloning. Thirdly, Amendment No 46 points out that the removal of tissues from foetuses originating from the voluntary interruption of pregnancy shall not be permitted. That is an important position if it is not to be possible to use a distorted utilitarian argument to put pressure upon someone facing a possible decision concerning abortion. Fourthly, Amendment No 31 contains requirements for regulating, in particular, the use of germ cells, embryonic stem cells and foetal stem cells. The use of cells that are of sensitive origin from an ethical point of view needs to be specially regulated, if that is not already the case, in the Member States. Amendment No 82 addresses the issue of donor consent. Clarification is needed of what should apply in the case of donation and of what is entailed by the obligatory requirements relating to consent. There are important clarifications of what should apply in the case of persons who cannot legally give consent themselves, as well as in the case of deceased or, as the case may be, living persons. Sixthly, Amendment No 41 makes important clarifications and addresses the voluntary nature of donations. At the same time, the Member States are given responsibility for devising more detailed rules. I can sincerely recommend Mr Liese’s report."@en1
