"Mr President, the purpose of the new social agenda is, among other things, to reduce barriers to mobility in a society that accepts the principle of equality, where there should not be any barriers in anyone’s way. A very important issue here is the proposal relating to the directive concerning the rights of patients in cross-border healthcare. This is needed for people to be able to function in today’s fast-moving world, where people travel hundreds of kilometres to attend a specific meeting. For this reason it is very important that every European should know that if their lives are in danger, someone will save their life and safeguard their health without unnecessary regulations or other obstacles. We should make sure that every inhabitant of the EU knows that, in order to be able to access healthcare in an emergency, they must have a European Health Insurance Card. Patients must know that, in an emergency, they should be treated on the same basis as the citizens of the country where they are being treated. Quality, productivity and, above all, the safety of patients are the issues that, for us, should be the most important."@en1
