lpv:translated text	". I roundly welcome this Commission proposal implementing the decision of the Barcelona European Council of March 2002 to introduce a European Health Insurance Card. The card will not change existing rights and obligations and is intended to simplify access to treatment in the country visited and, at the same time, to provide a guarantee for the institutions funding the health system in that country that the patient is fully insured in his or her country of origin and that, consequently, the institutions in their country of origin will duly reimburse all costs. I therefore believe that this measure embodies one of the most important principles underpinning the European Union, which is to guarantee throughout the territory of the EU a high level of health protection for all citizens and to contribute to the free movement that we all wish to see, abolishing barriers and obstacles to the geographical mobility of EU citizens. Lastly, I believe it to be of the utmost importance to promote actions that guarantee that the beneficiaries of sickness insurance schemes are sufficiently informed of their rights and obligations arising from this regulation. Starting with the need to ensure that citizens are informed about the card’s introduction."@en1
