I would like to start to compliment both rapporteurs Mr Stefan SCHENNACH and Ms Reina de BRUIJN-WEZEMAN on their reports on organ transplant tourism and combating trafficking in human tissues and cells. I indeed hope that the Assembly will be able to recommend today to the member states to sign, ratify, and implement relevant global and Council of Europe conventions and to support proposals made in the report to develop binding legal instruments to tackle these... 31/01/2020 | 10:28:29 Thank you very much, Mr President.

I never heard that this was the position but Mr Oleksii GONCHARENKO speaks to us on behalf of the group.
