Consequently, this also applies to the donation, procurement, testing, processing, storage and distribution of human organs, tissues and cells. The phrase "for application to the human body" is not clear as it could be interpreted as meaning only the external application of tissues or cells to the human body. The term, "for human applications" is a more precise phrase that would also include clinical (in vivo) research, which comes under the scope of the proposed Directive.
L'expression "destinés à être utilisés chez l'homme" est plus précise et inclut la recherche clinique (in vivo) qui relève du champ d'application de la directive proposée.
