"I would like to draw the Spanish Presidency’s attention to a number of matters which I regard as priorities and for which I believe that we need to find solutions in the coming months. Patients’ rights in cross-border health care must be treated as a priority as all patients in Europe must enjoy equality of rights. I call on the Presidency to make efforts to unblock the situation at Council level on this dossier. I also ask the Presidency to give its support to the directive regarding informing the general public on medicinal products subject to medical prescriptions, which the Council is opposed to. Maintaining the status quo in this area is of no benefit to patients or the pharmaceutical industry. The business sector requires support so that we can emerge from the economic crisis, particularly in new Member States which have severe problems in this area. In this respect, I believe that support for SMEs is absolutely imperative. The Spanish Presidency must show strong support for the directive on combating late payment in commercial transactions, which is vital to SMEs. I wish the Spanish Presidency every success in achieving its priorities and in finding solutions to the challenges which the European Union is currently facing."@en1
