But also this says NOTHING! Because owners make the tests in several labs in Europe and not in the same lab.

That's the point - there will be always honest breeders who will publish the results. And there will be always breeders hiding them. There are also CHEATERS who know that their dogs are ill but they tell the puppy owners that their dogs are healthy - the database with unofficial result can prevent it.
Additionally:
Publishing DM information do not "hurt" anyone - even the DM/DM dogs can be used for breeding - only the selection is important: not to mate such dogs with carriers but only with N/N dogs. The same apply to the carriers.
Publishing unofficial information can show possible dangers and can prevent that more DM/DM dogs are born. It is why I do not understand why some people are against it...
