The summary is posited within the context that organ trafficking should not be viewed as a predominantly global challenge taking place outside Europe; on the contrary, as a number of the case studies and group discussions demonstrate, the crime of organ trafficking can not only involve European citizens as both donors and recipients within the global context of the crime, but that the principal elements of the criminal enterprise also occur on the continent of Europe.
