European Agreement on the Exchange of Tissue-Typing Reagents

The member States of the Council of Europe, signatory hereto,
Considering that tissue-typing reagents are not available in unlimited quantities;
Considering that it is highly desirable that member States, in a spirit of European solidarity, should assist one another in the supply of these tissue-typing reagents, should the need arise;
Considering that such mutual assistance is only possible if the character and use of such tissue-typing reagents are subject to rules to be laid down jointly by the member States and if the necessary import facilities and exemptions are granted,

The Contracting Parties undertake, provided that they have sufficient stocks for their own needs, to make tissue-typing reagents available to other Parties who are in need of them and to charge only those costs of collection, processing and carriage of such substances and the cost (if any) of their purchase.

Article 3

Tissue-typing reagents shall be made available to the other Contracting Parties subject to the condition that no profit is made on them, and that they shall be used solely for medical and scientific, i.e. non-commercial, purposes and shall be delivered only to laboratories designated by the governments concerned in accordance with Article 6 of this Agreement.

Article 5

1.

The Contracting Parties shall take all necessary measures to exempt from all import duties the tissue-typing reagents placed at their disposal by the other Parties.

2.

They shall also take all necessary measures to provide for the speedy delivery of these substances, by the most direct route, to the consignees referred to in Article 3 of this Agreement.

Article 6

The Contracting Parties shall forward to one another, through the Secretary General of the Council of Euope, a list of the national and/or regional reference laboratories, empowered to issue certificates as provided in Article 4 of this Agreement and to distribute imported tissue-typing reagents.
