Changes in the procedure of medically assisted procreation

The object of the proposed regulation is to harmonize the time limit for the collection of blood samples from donors of reproductive cells specified in §2.6 of the Regulation of the Minister of Health of October 23, 2015 on the health requirements for a candidate for donation of reproductive cells for partner and non-partner donation and for a recipient of reproductive cells and embryos, as well as detailed conditions for the collection of reproductive cells for use in a medically assisted procreation procedure (Dz. U. pos. 1718) with point 4.2. of Annex III to Directive 2006/17/EC as amended by Commission Directive 2012/39/EU of November 26, 2012 amending Directive 2006/17/EC as regards certain technical requirements for the examination of human tissues and cells (Official Journal of the EU. L No. 327, p. 24).

Amendment to the Regulation of the Minister of Health of October 23, 2015 on health requirements for a candidate for a donor of reproductive cells for partner donation and non-partner donation and for a recipient of reproductive cells and embryos, as well as detailed conditions for the collection of reproductive cells for use in a medically assisted procreation procedure (Journal of Laws, item 1718), amending § 2(6) regarding the timing of examinations for donors of reproductive cells.  

Under the current legal regime, testing must be performed on a sample taken within three months of the first donation of reproductive cells, while the directive's provisions require testing on a sample taken within three months before the first donation of reproductive cells.
