lpv:translated text	". The traffic in human organs has increased enormously in recent years. Trafficking in human beings is organised in order to remove organs from living donors. Patients from the European Union buy organs from third-country donors, thereby profiting from their helplessness in the face of extreme poverty. Against this background, we must welcome the proposal for a framework decision. The donation of organs by living persons is a genuine source of abuse and often represents the exploitation of poverty. The use of living donors must only ever be considered as a last resort, when transplants from dead people are impossible. I therefore tabled an amendment to the effect that any removal of organs from persons that are not closely related, as defined by the law, should be punished. When there is no such relationship, these donations could take place only under conditions laid down by the law and once an appropriate independent body has given its authorisation. Organ donation by living donors must be extremely closely supervised and monitored in order to protect the vulnerable and to prevent the exploitation of human beings in order to obtain their organs, which is an unacceptable practice."@en1
