title: [Agent liability: a law in flux].
abstract: This communication aims to show the impact of the recent reform of the French sanitary organization, and of the evolutions of the French law of liability. Contrary to what it seems, the important reform of the safety system has less immediate consequences than the change in laws on the way in which transfusion professionals perceive their juridical situation.
