Traffic of human organs
By adopting a proposition for a legal resolution on the prohibition of the trafficking of human organs and tissues by 432 votes in favour, 25 abstentions Parliament made a stance against trade in this area across the entire EU.
The proposition, voted on 20 October 2003, introduces a clause on extra-territorial aspects so that people trying to purchase organs/tissues that have been taken from people from third countries to the EU will be committing a crime according to European Law.
