"The directive on cross-border healthcare that is due to be put to the vote today is a revolution, and I welcome that. The European Union’s healthcare remit is a very sensitive issue, and it is only right that each Member State should establish its own system of social protection and health insurance according to its own particular culture. However, why build Europe and guarantee freedom of movement if this is not accompanied by the opportunity to access healthcare throughout the European Union? For three years now, Parliament has been fighting to establish legal certainty for cross-border healthcare and to clarify the terms of reimbursement. A major step is going to be taken, and I thank my colleague, Mrs Grossetête, for the work she has done. This is an historic moment: the Europe of health is being built, and cross-border healthcare will no longer be a risk, but an opportunity. Let us ensure that we put this into practice, so that every European citizen may benefit from high quality healthcare. This is the price to be paid for health."@en1
