The outstanding work of the Transplant Committee of the Council of Europe in the field oforgan, tissue and cells donation and transplantation for many years is now serving as a mo-del for other International bodies in other parts of the world for setting standards, obtainingaccurate data of activity, and implementing new forms of organization.
UE has widely used the documents elaborated by this Committee for the tissue and cell di-rective. WHO is now in the phase of development of the 57th World Health Assembly Re-solution about Human Organ and Tissue Transplantation and certainly our experience willserve as a basis for the future work in Latin America or Asia.
TRANSPLANT NEWSLETTER is now the only official publication which provides data of or-gan donation and transplantation of everyday more and more countries all over the world.A wonderful example has been Latino America. Thanks to the cooperation of professionalsand authorities of these countries and the coordinators of the GRUPO PUNTACANA, we

started to publish their data and now we are the more accurate source of data for this con-tinent. The recent approval of the project of IBEROAMERICAN COUNCIL OF ORGAN DO-NATION AND TRANSPLANTATION which will serve to harmonize these activities in Spanishand Portuguese speaking countries can be considered as a reflex of this Committee at theother side of Atlantic ocean.
Information is an absolute need for taking decisions. It is a simple question of justice thankto all the people who provides these data every year from more and more countries. We allare contributing to provide these therapies everyday to more and more people all over theworld.

This Guide includes standards for procurements, preservation,processing and distribution of organs, tissues and cells. It is thefirst international text on this topic adopted by Health Authorities.
ISBN: 92-871-5518-6Format: 16 x 24 cmNo. of pages: 95
SYNOPSIS
The purpose of this guide is to provide guidance for all those involved in the transplantation tomaximise the quality, and thereby the success rate, of transplants, and to minimise the risks to allinvolved in this complex procedure. It includes safety and quality standards for procurement, pre-servation, processing, and distribution of organs, tissues and cells of human origin (allogeneic andautologous) used for transplantation purposes.
As the European Union Directive on Tissues and Cells (2004/23/EC) was recently adopted, theEuropean Commission will build on the Council of Europe’s guide when establishing technicalstandards under the directive. This co-operation will ensure that the same standards are appliedthroughout Europe.

RECOMMENDATION REC(2004)19OF THE COMMITTEE OF MINISTERSTO MEMBER STATES ON CRITERIA
FOR THE AUTHORISATIONOF ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION FACILITIES
Adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 15 December 2004at the 909th meeting of the Ministers’ Deputies
The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Ar-ticle 15.b of the Statute of the Council of Europe,
Considering that the aim of the Council of Euro-pe is to achieve greater unity between its mem-bers and that this aim may be pursued inter alia by the adoption of common action in the healthfield;
Taking into account Resolution No. R (78) 29 onharmonisation of legislation of member states relatingto removal, grafting and transplantation of humansubstances, the final text of the 3rd Conference of Eu-ropean Health Ministers (Paris, 16-17 November1987); Articles 19 and 20 of the Convention of HumanRights and Biomedicine, and Articles 3 and 4 of theAdditional Protocol to the Convention on HumanRights and Biomedicine, on Transplantation of Organsand Tissues of Human Origin;
Considering that:
– organ transplantation is a well-established, life-saving, and effective treatment: a successful or-gan transplantation may be the only treatmentavailable for some forms of end stage organ fai-lure and is the most clinically and cost effectivetreatment for chronic renal failure;
– organ exchange and circulation of recipientsamong member states is becoming a more fre-quent phenomenon, and that a minimum com-mon standard should be guaranteed to the citi-zens;
– member states should therefore provide high-quality transplant services for the benefit of theircitizens. Considering the limited organ supply, allnecessary steps should be taken to make sureall available organs are properly safeguarded andused so as to maximise the benefit to patients;
– the highest professional standards are to bemaintained in the area of organ transplantation,
Recommends that the governments of memberstates take all necessary measures to ensure the fo-llowing:
1. An appropriate mechanism for the authorisa-tion1 of health care facilities carrying out organtransplantations2 should be set up. In order toobtain authorisation these facilities should meetthe following criteria:
– feasibility of programme, based on clinical ne-ed assessment and a documented estimateof organ supply, to ensure that projected ac-tivity levels are sufficient to maintain clinicalexpertise and programme quality;
1 For the purpose of this Recommendation, the term «authori-sation» refers to any appropriate mechanism for designating, aut-horising, accrediting or licensing health care facilities carrying outorgan transplantations.
2 This Recommendation refers to the facilities where organs arebeing «implanted».

– standards of vocational training of teammembers, and infrastructural conditions rela-ting to availability of beds, intensive care facilities, and diagnostic and therapeuticback-up services (radiology, microbiology, im-munology services, etc.), and to care provi-ded by nursing, physiotherapy, social servicesand related medical professionals.
2. Medical professionals forming part of an organtransplant team should be properly qualified andtheir previous training in the field of transplanta-tion should be documented and personalised.
3. A quality-management system should be put inplace to evaluate performance against establis-hed national and/or international standards asapplicable, and to ensure the quality of the pro-cess of organ procurement and transplantation,following the principles described in the Coun-cil of Europe’s Guide to safety and quality assu-rance for organs, tissues and cells.
4. Authorisations should be regularly reviewedagainst agreed quality criteria and standards, aswell as against audit results.
5. Outcome results for each type of transplantshould be within the margins of internatio-
nal registers, at an equivalent degree of com-plexity of patients. In order to guarantee clini-cal results and cost-effective performance, mi-nimal yearly activity standards shall beestablished in order to maintain an active pro-gramme.
6. These minimal activity standards, required to ke-ep active each kind of transplant programme,should be related to the mean number of cada-veric organs available to the transplant team inrecent years.
7. Any transplant centre which, after several war-nings, continues to fail to meet activity or out-come criteria may have its authorisation with-drawn.
8. No new transplant centre may be authorised ifthere are not enough organs available to ena-ble a new centre to reach the required stan-dards.
9. Any new transplant centre should be authorised,accredited or licensed on the basis of agreedcriteria and initially should be limited in time. If,within an agreed timescale, the new centre do-es not achieve the required standards, authori-sation shall be withdrawn.

RECOMMENDATION REC(2005)11OF THE COMMITTEE OF MINISTERSTO MEMBER STATES ON THE ROLEAND TRAINING OF PROFESSIONALS
RESPONSIBLE FOR ORGAN DONATION(TRANSPLANT «DONOR CO-ORDINATORS»)
Adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 15 June 2005at the 930th meeting of the Ministers’ Deputies
The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Ar-ticle 15.b of the Statute of the Council of Europe,
Considering that the aim of the Council of Euro-pe is to achieve greater unity between its mem-bers and that this aim may be pursued, inter alia, by the adoption of common action in the healthfield;
Taking into account Resolution (78) 29 on the har-monisation of legislation of member states relatingto removal, grafting and transplantation of humansubstances, the final text of the 3rd Conference ofEuropean Health Ministers (Paris, 16 and 17 No-vember 1987); Articles 19 and 20 of the Conventionon Human Rights and Biomedicine, and Articles 3and 4 of the Additional Protocol to the Conventionon Human Rights and Biomedicine concerningTransplantation of Organs and Tissues of HumanOrigin, and principles established in the 1998 Coun-cil of Europe consensus document entitled «Meetingthe organ shortage»;
Considering that organ transplantation is a well-es-tablished, life-saving, and effective treatment: a suc-cessful organ transplant may be the only treatmentavailable for some forms of end stage organ failureand is the most clinically effective and cost-effectivetreatment for chronic renal failure;
Considering the universal shortage of organs fortransplantation;
Considering that the transplant process is complex,involves various services and therefore requires effec-tive organisation and co-ordination of health care pro-fessionals;
Bearing in mind that in many member states thetraining and employment of health care professionalsresponsible for detecting potential deceased organdonors and organising the donation process has in-creased the efficiency of the procurement of organsand improved the functioning of local and nationaltransplant systems; and that such professionals canalso increase the rate of donation of tissues for trans-plantation,
Recommends that the governments of memberstates take the measures contained in the appendixto this recommendation as regards the role and trai-ning of professionals responsible for organ donation(transplant «donor co-ordinators»).
APPENDIX TO RECOMMENDATION REC(2005)11
1. A professional responsible for the identificationof potential deceased organ and/or tissue do-nors should be appointed in every hospital withan intensive care unit. This professional shouldhave appropriate training and experience, be in-dependent of any transplant teams, and have
40

�
�
�
�
�
� �
clearly defined responsibilities for the establish-ment, management and audit of a hospital-ba-sed system for potential deceased donor iden-tification and organ/tissue procurement. Theperson should also be responsible for monito-ring the donation and procurement process andfor identifying and implementing improvements.For the purposes of this recommendation, theprofessional will be termed a transplant «donorcoordinator».
2. Donor co-ordinators should be properly ac-countable to senior management of the relevanthealth institution and to any regional or national
transplant organisations. Donor co-ordinatorsmay be complemented by, or responsible to, ot-her transplant co-ordinators at regional or natio-nal level.
3. Donor co-ordinators, and any other transplantco-ordinators should have a high standard ofprofessional training consistent with internatio-nally recognised standards, to ensure the hig-hest possible professional and ethical standardsin organ donation and procurement. Memberstates should establish formal national or inter-national accreditation for donor co-ordinationactivities/donor co-ordinators.
