"Mr President, I see that in general we all agree that organ transplants must not be a commercial activity. Any commercial utilisation of organs is simply unethical and contrary to basic human values. Huge demand for organs for transplantation may lead to pathology or, indeed, crime. All of Europe was recently appalled by those parts of Carla Del Ponte’s book where she spoke of Albanian terrorists who used Serbian citizens from Kosovo for commercial transplantation. This is the issue that the European Parliament and the Member States should address. I believe that the informed consent of the donor must always be a basis for donation and for transplantation of organs. There is a need to secure such a solution which must be the norm in Europe."@en1
