"Madam President, I wish to reply to Mr Rübig and Mrs Doyle, as these are questions which have already caught my attention.
Firstly, I think that Mrs Doyle is correct. All technologies, and electronic technologies are especially useful here, should be used to facilitate the processing of patient files.
Secondly, Mrs Doyle, we are in favour of a collective solution, providing that, in the cause of mobility, we do not threaten each country’s social security traditions.
Thirdly, I agree with Mr Rübig. It has been seen that there are legal issues relating to contribution payment problems, relating to double taxation. Mr Rübig is correct.
To give you my own view, having considered these problems closely only last week, as we come from border countries, Mr Rübig, I think that national administrations are not always properly trained, confident or sufficiently motivated to solve this type of problem. This seems to me, to reply to Mrs Doyle, the real difficulty. That is why a collective Community approach is required. The Commission, really, has to push hard. The Presidency is pushing this work forward too, because there is administrative, bureaucratic and cultural reluctance in each of our Member States.
Now, the question of cross-border mobility is a real issue for European integration, for developing a new European generation and simply for allowing our citizens to see the practical advantages of the European Union. There are far too many administrative obstacles to these cross-border movements, especially in the social and fiscal spheres.
That is a real issue. I believe that this also requires in-depth reforms and coordination between the Community institutions, especially the Commission, and the national administrations."@en1
