"I support this proposal on cross-border healthcare. Healthcare should never be treated as a commercial market service. This initiative aims to ensure that there are no unnecessary obstacles for patients seeking healthcare in a Member State other than their home country. It seeks to implement what the European Court of Justice has laid down in many rulings. Moreover, it sets out to provide clarity about a patient’s right to be reimbursed by their home state. While ensuring high quality, safe and efficient cross-border healthcare, it is important to ensure a proper balance between the right of EU patients to seek treatment abroad and the capacity of national health systems and national healthcare priorities. This directive will clarify the reimbursement of costs for treatments that patients have received in another Member State and will ensure the good functioning and the financial balance of national health systems. It is important that Member States can decide to establish a well-defined system of prior authorisation for reimbursement of costs of hospital or specialised care."@en1
