lpv:translated text	"As a member of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, but also as a former government commissioner for administrative simplification in my own country, I can only welcome the unanimous approval, by our committee, of Mrs Jensen’s report. In effect, the introduction of a European Health Insurance Card, which will replace the current paper forms needed for health treatment in another Member State, constitutes a considerable advance for Europeans. I think that we should all be aware of this. The harmonisation of procedures will lead to greater well-being, it will avoid people being confronted by endless paperwork, but above all it will give real mobility to European citizens. This step is an excellent example of the efficacy that can result from a reorganisation of procedures. Thus the famous Form E111, so familiar to tourists and required for short-term stays, will be the first thing to be abolished. The European card will simplify the lives of our fellow citizens, without changing existing rights and obligations. This is something that we all insisted on. This practical and very visible act will increase our sense of belonging to the European Union, just as it will strengthen European citizenship. It is clear that we shall very quickly have to continue our efforts and broaden the scope of the card, so that it includes medical emergency data and information about the health of the holder. For now, let us welcome this new administrative culture which, without a doubt, will be appreciated by the citizens of Europe, who have all too often been disappointed by the slow and cumbersome nature of our procedures."@en1
