"I join in the welcome to Commissioner Vassiliou here on her first day taking questions. It is nice to have her with us. Thank you for your reply. Health care was exempted from the Services Directive originally for very good reasons, because we wanted a health services directive. We have already waited far too long. I am not quite sure what message the shuffling around the different desks in the Commission is sending to us. Is it a concern with too much privatisation? Is it a concern that we might run down health services in Member States? There are already major discrepancies in competences in this area and differences in standards, and under the single market patients are entitled, as the ECJ has decided, to travel for treatment if they cannot reasonably access treatment in their own Member State. What exactly has caused the delay to date, Commissioner?"@en1
