".
Mr President, I would firstly like to thank all the speakers for their contributions to this debate. I believe that issues of enormous interest have been raised, which we will try to consider as far as possible.
I would like to make just two comments. Firstly, the use of the open coordination method is going to provide us with a new dynamic in relation to the specific field of health. Naturally, the diffusion of best practices will allow for greater efficiency, which will undoubtedly benefit both national health systems and users and service providers. This use of the open coordination method will also allow us to enhance the social policy aspects of the Lisbon strategy.
Secondly, I have noted the concern amongst certain speakers about the inter-relationship between the internal market and health. Nevertheless, I believe there is a broad consensus on the three fundamental objectives: accessibility, quality and sustainability. This demonstrates that the approach does not focus solely and exclusively on the internal market, but that the provision of adequate health services is also fundamental.
This is also reflected in the communication initially adopted by the Commission, which, as well as insisting on the need to make progress on the internal market, also stresses the need for appropriate provision of services for all patients and, naturally, the public funding necessary for these services to be provided."@en1
