Proposal for a regulation
Recital 15
(15) This Regulation does not prevent Member States from maintaining or introducing more stringent protective measures that are compatible with Union law. Member States should notify the Commission of any such measures. More stringent protective measures put in place by Member States should be evidence- based and proportionate to the risk to human health, for example based on overall safety concerns and corresponding risks in a Member State or specific local risks. They should not discriminate against persons on grounds of sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation, unless that measure or its application is objectively justified by a legitimate aim, and the means of achieving that aim are science-based, appropriate and necessary.

Amendment 168 #
Jan HUITEMA, Catharina RINZEMA, Véronique TRILLET-LENOIR, Michal WIEZIK, Martin HOJSÍK, Susana SOLÍS PÉREZ
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 15 a (new)
(15 a) This Regulation should ensure a science-based and non-discriminatory approach to SoHO donations. Men having sex with men (MSM), in particular, have been discriminated against in blood donation procedures following the HIV epidemic. To ensure the highest level of safety of SoHO donations, various Member States have enacted legislative or administrative bans on SoHOs donations from MSM, or have installed time deferral periods, based on a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. This could have been justified at the beginning of the HIV epidemic when medical solutions were absent, but at present several medical evolutions have materialised, such as more reliable blood testing and screening technology, antiretroviral therapy and the rising use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in MSM communities. National donation policies introducing bans and other obstacles for MSM to donate SoHOs are therefore unnecessary and discriminatory. This Regulation should ensure that Member States replace donor eligibility criteria based on sexual orientation or gender identity with sexual behaviour- based screening criteria for all donors, regardless of their gender or sexual orientation.
