Dutch MP's agree to stronger approach to illegal trade in organs

NL Times  

The Tweede Kamer, the lower house of the Dutch parliament, supported a bill to better tackle illegal trade in organs from living or deceased persons, even though they had doubts about some parts. Due to new techniques, the trade in body material is growing worldwide, and with it, the illegal trade. The new law updates several laws relating to the donation of body material so that they are better aligned with the changed practice and with European legislation. According to Agema, there are active international criminal networks that earn a lot of money from collecting and trading body material.
