lpv:translated text	"I welcome the new legislation governing patients’ rights to medical treatment in another EU Member State. The work of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), in close conjunction with the other political groups, was once again fundamental. Approval of our French colleague Mrs Grossetête’s report comes after long negotiations with the Council, and will allow for significant progress to be made in an area in which existing legislation was not sufficient. The new legislation, which only affects people choosing to be treated abroad, establishes that EU citizens may be reimbursed for medical treatment they receive in another Member State, providing the health system in their Member State of affiliation covers the treatment and associated costs. All of this is particularly significant when we consider that seeking healthcare abroad could be of most benefit to patients who are on long waiting lists, or who cannot find specialist care."@en1
