Amendment 188 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 18
(18) As a matter of principle, programmes promoting the donation of SoHOs should be founded on the principle of voluntary and unpaid donation, altruism of the donor and solidarity between donor and recipient. VAll donations, including voluntary and, unpaid SoHO donation is also a factor which can contribute to, must meet high safety standards for SoHOs and therefore to the protection of human health. It is also recognised, including by the Council of Europe Committee on Bioethics24, that while financial gain should be avoided, it may also be necessary to ensure that donors are not financially disadvantaged by their donation. Thus, compensation to remove any such risk is acceptable but should never constitute an incentive that would cause a donor to be dishonest when giving their medical or behavioural history or to donate more frequently than is allowed, posing risks to their own health and to that of prospective recipients. Such compensation should, therefore, be set by national authorities, at a level appropriate in their Member State to reach such objectives. _________________ 24 Council of Europe Committee on Bioethics (DH-BIO).

Amendment 252 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 37
(37) It is necessary to promote information and awareness campaigns at national and Union level on the importance of SoHOs. The aim of these campaigns should be to help European citizens to decide whether to become donors during their lifetime and let their families or legal representatives know their wishes regarding donation after death. As there is a need to ensure the availability of SoHOs for medical treatments, Member States should promote the donation of SoHOs, including plasma, of high quality and safety, thereby also increasing self- sufficiency in the Union. Member States are also urged to take steps to encourage aencourage effective, sufficient and safe provision of SoHO services, including strong public and non- profit sector involvement in the provision of SoHO services, in particular for critical SoHOs and the related research and development.
