lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the transplantation of organs, parts of organs, tissues and cells, can save lives and is an important method in courses of treatment for many different disorders and illnesses. In future, the transplantation of cells, for example, will play an ever more important role in regular medicine. The transplantation of adult stem cells is a case in point. There are, however, two aspects which the European Union should regulate in this framework. The first is the guarantee of quality and safety of donation and transplantation, and the second is the prevention of trade in organs, tissues and cells. The former is currently being dealt with in the Liese report, the latter in the report we are discussing today, which, to put it briefly, receives our unqualified support. It is good that these immoral practices are being tackled. It is good that the report asks for extra attention for the encouragement of voluntary donation. We cannot follow the report in one area: we think that – as is, in fact, mentioned in the Greek initiative – the offering and accepting of money for organs, tissues or cells should also be punishable."@en1
