lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we Christian Democrats here in the European Parliament and, obviously, the Swedish Christian Democratic Party too, welcome the clear and significant administrative simplification entailed in a European Health Insurance Card. As from 2004, this card will also be electronic, and it will be possible to read data off it. The introduction of a Health Insurance card is, of course, extremely welcome. It will make it significantly simpler for people in the various Member States of the European Union to have their social rights safeguarded without administrative worries. The various forms will now disappear, firstly the E111 form and, subsequently, the others too: E110, E119 and E128. At the same time, it is important to emphasise that this new European Health Insurance Card does not provide any new social rights. It is only an administrative simplification. In the future too, it will, on a purely constitutional basis, be the Member States that are responsible for health care within the European Union. Responsibility for payment also lies with the Member States. It is important for us in the European debate to see social rights as being linked to issues of solidarity and responsibility for payment. I also wish to emphasise that, today in many EU Member States, there is an economic crisis within the health and social insurance systems. The objective of harmonisation, or of creating a European catalogue of social rights without linking this to funding by the Member States, is very dubious. We must make matters easier from an administrative point of view, but we must allow the Member States themselves to deal with these issues in the future too."@en1
