"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, although we are dealing with it at a late hour, I believe that what we have here is an important argument that should be highly valued, because the therapeutic use of stem cells from the umbilical cord should be upheld, just as initiatives and information campaigns aimed at making the possibility of donating stem cells more widespread should be encouraged and promoted at every level, all the more so at the European level.
You have just maintained that all this is not within the competence of Europe. However, could the transposition of Directive 2004/23/EC not define quality and safety standards for the donation, testing, preservation and distribution of the selfsame cells?
It is, in any case, necessary to ensure that the diverse national legislation be applied coherently over the different European countries to guarantee that all European patients and parents have the same rights and are subject to identical rules.
It is particularly important that cord blood be preserved in public banks at the national and European level, so that it can be efficaciously given to all patients who really need it, thus preventing death and trying to ensure the same rights for everyone."@en1
