Biotechnology already enables cheaper, safer and more ethical production of a growing number of traditional as well as new drugs and medical services (e.g. human growth hormone without risk of Creutzfeldt-Jacobs Disease, treatment for haemophiliacs with unlimited sources of coagulation factors free from AIDS and hepatitis C virus, human insulin, and vaccines against hepatitis B and rabies).

Since 1989, blood and plasma used for the manufacturing of plasma-derived medicinal products (i.e. albumin, coagulation factors, immunoglobulins) have been covered by Community pharmaceutical legislation.

1. By way of derogation from Article 34 of Directive 75/319/EEC, and subject to the provisions of this Directive, Directives 65/65/EEC and 75/319/EEC shall aplly to medicinal products based on blood constituents which are prepared industrially by public or private establishments, hereinafter referred to as 'medicinal products derived from human blood or human plasma'; these medicinal products include, in particular albumin, coagulating factors and immunoglobulins of human origin.
