lpv:translated text	"Any lack of or delay in action in the sector of organ donation costs lives that could be saved. As Europeans we have a lot to learn from one another. Moreover, countries with experience and infrastructure in this sector can help other countries, like Malta, that may not have the critical mass, especially in cases of rare conditions. Recently the Maltese and Gozitan people were moved by the case of Jamie Zammit. Jamie is having problems finding a donor to save him from a condition known as Fanconi anaemia because in Malta we do not currently have a register of bone marrow donors. The Maltese Government has now announced that it is going to set up such a register. This is good news. However, in order to set it up, we require the specialised procedure of HLA typing, which does not yet exist in Malta, and we also need long-term training in other countries so that this can be introduced. I am appealing that, out of European solidarity, Malta is given all the help it needs, particularly until this system is set up in our country, so that we can save as many innocent lives as possible."@en1
