"On the basis of available data, it is estimated that around 400 000 silicone breast implants made by PIP (Poly Implant Prothèse) have been sold worldwide and these implants have been widely used in the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Germany and Italy – all EU Member States. In light of what has been learnt, the need to inform patients that in some cases breast implants are not permanent and may need to be replaced or removed is highlighted. Therefore I support the call for pre-market assessment of certain categories of medical devices and the introduction of a passport for implant recipients specifying the special characteristics of the implant, its potential health risks and the post-operative follow-up care measures associated with the implant; the passport would have to be signed by the surgeon and the patient, and would be valid as a consent form for the operation."@en1
