2008/0142(COD) Patients' rights in cross-border healthcare
2010/05/10
ENVI
16 amendments...
Amendment 105 #
Council position Recital 18 (18) In order to enable patients to make an informed choice when they seek to receive healthcare in another Member State, the Member State of treatment should ensure that patients from other Member States receive on request the relevant information on safety and quality standards enforced on its territory as well as on which healthcare providers are subject to these standards. Such information should be remotely accessible in electronic form. Furthermore, healthcare providers should provide patients on request with information on specific aspects of the healthcare services they offer. To the extent that healthcare providers already provide patients resident in the Member State of treatment with relevant information on those specific aspects, this Directive should not oblige healthcare providers to provide more extensive information to patients from other Member States. Nothing should prevent the Member State of treatment from also obliging other actors than the healthcare providers, such as insurance providers or public authorities, to provide the information on specific aspects of the healthcare services offered, if that would be more appropriate with regard to the organisation of its healthcare system.
Amendment 122 #
Council position Recital 43 (43) Appropriate information on all essential aspects of cross-border healthcare is necessary in order to enable patients to exercise their rights on cross-border healthcare in practice. For cross-border healthcare, one of the mechanisms for providing such information is to establish national contact points within each Member State. Information that has to be provided compulsorily to patients should be specified. However, the national contact points may provide more information voluntarily and also with the support of the Commission. Information should be provided by national contact points to patients in any of the official languages of the Member State in which the contact points are situated. Information may, but does not have to, be provided in any other language. All that information should be remotely accessible in electronic form.
Amendment 128 #
Council position Recital 49 (49) Technological developments in cross- border provision of healthcare through the use of ICTs may result in the exercise of supervisory responsibilities by Member States being unclear, and can thus hinder the free movement of healthcare and give rise to possible additional risks to health protection. Widely different and incompatible formats and standards are used for provision of healthcare using ICTs throughout the Union, creating both obstacles to this mode of cross-border healthcare provision and possible risks to health protection. It is therefore necessary for Member States to aim at interoperability of ICT systems. The deployment of health ICT systems, however, is entirely a national competence. This Directive therefore should recognise the importance of the work on interoperability and
Amendment 132 #
Council position Recital 50 (50) The constant progress of medical science and health technologies presents both opportunities and challenges to the health systems of the Member States. Cooperation in the evaluation of new health technologies can support Member States through economies of scale and avoid duplication of effort, and provide a better basis of evidence for optimal use of new technologies to ensure safe, high- quality and efficient healthcare. Such cooperation requires sustained structures involving all the relevant authorities of the Member States, but also all the stakeholders concerned, including health professionals and representatives of patients and industry building on existing pilot projects.
Amendment 147 #
Council position Article 4 – paragraph 2 – point b a (new) (ba) the information referred to in points (a) and (b) is remotely accessible in electronic form and that such information is also made available in formats accessible to persons with disabilities.
Amendment 155 #
Council position Article 5 – paragraph 1 – point b (b) there are mechanisms in place to provide patients on request with information, which should be remotely accessible in electronic form, on their rights and entitlements in that Member State relating to receiving cross-border healthcare, in particular as regards procedures for accessing and determining those entitlements, conditions for reimbursement of costs and systems of appeal and redress if the patients considers that their rights have not been respected;
Amendment 157 #
Council position Article 5 – paragraph 1 – point c (c) patients who seek to receive or do receive cross-border healthcare have access to at least a copy of their medical records, in conformity with, and subject to, national measures implementing Union provisions on the protection of personal data, in particular Directives 95/46/EC and 2002/58/EC. If the medical records are held in electronic form, patients shall have a guaranteed right to obtain a copy of, or a right of remote access to, those records.
Amendment 161 #
Council position Article 6 – paragraph 3 3. National contact points in the Member State of treatment shall provide patients with information concerning healthcare providers, including on request information on a specific provider's right to provide services or any restrictions on its practice, information referred to in Article 4(2)(a), as well as information on patients' rights, complaints procedures and mechanisms for seeking remedies, according to the legislation of that Member State. Such information should be remotely accessible in electronic form.

The Commission should always evaluate the eHealth situation in cross-border healthcare. To this end, the Commission shall conduct an assessment of the systems and practices put in place in the Member States, in the light of the requirements of this Directive and the other Union legislation relating to patient mobility.

Proposal for a decision Recital 3 a (new) (3a) Ageing is undoubtedly a challenge for the whole of society and for all generations in Europe, but it is also a matter of intergenerational solidarity and above all the role of the family.
Amendment 30 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 4 (4) Successive European Councils have recognised the need to tackle the effect of ageing populations on European social models. A key response to this rapid change in the age structure consists in promoting healthy and active ageing and thus ensuring that the baby boom cohorts, who are, on the whole, healthier and better educated than any such cohort before them, have good opportunities for employment and active participation in society. Flexibility in labour relations – especially so-called atypical contracts – must be promoted so as to ensure that everyone will be able to work in accordance with their circumstances.
Amendment 39 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 (5) The growing proportion of older people in Europe makes it more important than ever to promote healthy ageing. A crucial factor in this is access to health and social services. Healthy ageing can help raise labour market participation of older people, enable them to be active in society for longer, improve their individual quality of life and curb the strains on health and social care systems.
Amendment 49 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 5 a (new) (5a) Further measures must be taken to combat the information isolation of the ageing generation. Access to and use of the new technologies is a basic condition for active ageing and social inclusion.
Amendment 55 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 7 (7) The Council adopted on 22 February 2007 a resolution on ‘Opportunities and challenges of demographic change in Europe: the contribution of older people to economic and social development’, which emphasised the need to increase the possibilities of active participation by older people, the new economic opportunities (‘silver economy’) created by the growing demand of older people for certain goods and services as well as the importance of the best possible health and quality of life (which includes access to appropriate and high quality health care) and a positive public image of older people.
Amendment 62 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 11 (11) The Council adopted on 7 June 2010 Conclusions on ‘Active Ageing’, inviting the Commission ‘to pursue the preparation of a European Year for Active Ageing in 2012 during which the benefits of healthy and active ageing and its contribution to solidarity between generations can be highlighted and promising initiatives in support of healthy and active ageing at all levels can be publicised’.

Amendment 78 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 15 (15) Active and healthy ageing is targeted by several Union programmes, such as the European Social Fund, the European Regional and Development Fund, the PROGRESS programme, the Life Long Learning Programme, the Public Health Programme, the specific programmes on information and communication technologies and on socio-economic sciences and humanities in the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Development, the Action Plan on ‘Ageing well in the information society’, the Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) Joint Programme for research and innovation, the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme with pilot deployment projects on ICT for Ageing Well and the Action Plan on urban mobility. Union co- financing of European Year activities will be in accordance with the priorities and rules applying, on an annual or multi- annual basis, to existing programmes and autonomous budget lines in the field of employment, social affairs and equal opportunities. Where appropriate, programmes and policies in other fields, such as education and culture, health, research, the information society, regional policy and transport policy, may support the European Year.
Amendment 95 #
Proposal for a decision Article 2 – paragraph 1 – introductory part The overall purpose of the European Year shall be to encourage and support the efforts of Member States, their regional and local authorities, social partners and civil society to promote active ageing and to do more to mobilise the potential of the rapidly growing population in their late 50s and above, thereby preserving solidarity between generations.
Amendment 104 #
Proposal for a decision Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 1 (1) to raise general awareness of the value of healthy and active ageing in order to highlight the useful contribution older persons make to the family, society and the economy, to promote a
Amendment 111 #
Proposal for a decision Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 2 (2) to stimulate debate and develop mutual learning between Member States and stakeholders at all levels in order to promote healthy and active ageing policies, to identify and disseminate good practice and to encourage cooperation and synergies;
Amendment 117 #

Amendment 131 #
Proposal for a decision Article 3 – paragraph 1 – indent 1 – conferences, events and initiatives, in which the business sector and SMEs will be closely involved, to promote debate, raise awareness and foster the making of specific commitments contributing to sustainable and long-lasting outcomes through evaluation of effective methods and measures for future initiatives and activities in the field of active ageing;

Amendment 24 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 19 (19) European Union external support has increasing financing needs but the economic and budgetary situation of the Union limits the resources available for such support. The Commission must therefore seek the most efficient use of available resources by using financial instruments with leverage effect. Such effect could be increased by enabling the use and re-use of funds invested and generated by financial instruments. It should also define clearly the priorities of the European Neighbourhood Policy, thereby setting criteria for the evaluation of achievements.

Amendment 95 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 19 (19) Electronic means of information and communication can greatly simplify the publication of contracts, reduce administrative burdens such as transaction costs particularly for SMEs, and increase the efficiency and transparency of procurement processes. They should become the standard means of communication and information exchange in procurement procedures. The use of electronic means also leads to time savings. As a result, provision should be made for reducing the minimum periods where electronic means are used, subject, however, to the condition that they are compatible with the specific mode of transmission envisaged at Union level. Moreover, electronic means of information and communication including adequate functionalities can enable contracting authorities to prevent, detect and correct errors that occur during procurement procedures.
Amendment 100 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 29 a (new) (29a) The importance of training the staff of contracting authorities and individual operators should be underlined, on the one hand, and skills and training requirements should be included in contracting specifications as a long term strategy, on the other; it should be stressed, however, that these latter actions must be directly linked to the subject matter of the contract, be proportionate and economically advantageous.
Amendment 106 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 37 (37) Contracts should be awarded on the basis of objective criteria that ensure compliance with the principles of competition, transparency, non- discrimination, cost-effectiveness and equal treatment. These criteria should guarantee that tenders are assessed in conditions of effective competition, also where contracting authorities require high- quality works, supplies and services that are optimally suited to their needs, for instance where the chosen award criteria include factors linked to the production process. As a result, contracting authorities should be allowed to adopt as award criteria either
Amendment 108 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 40 (40) These sector-specific measures must be complemented by an adaptation of the public procurement Directives empowering contracting authorities to pursue the objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy in their purchasing strategies. It should hence be made clear that contracting authorities can determine the most economically advantageous tender and the lowest cost using a life-cycle costing approach, provided that the methodology to be used is established in an objective and non- discriminatory manner and accessible to all interested parties. The notion of life-cycle costing includes

Proposal for a directive Recital 41 a (new) (41a) The European public procurement market is more open than the markets of the EU's international partners and that, as a result, European companies cannot compete with third-country companies on a level playing field and continue to have difficulties in gaining access to third country markets; reciprocity should be ensured in order to open up the markets and ensure access to public procurement contacts, both in Europe and elsewhere, in accordance with agreements between the EU and third countries.
Amendment 113 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 43 (43) Contract performance conditions are compatible with this Directive provided that they are not directly or indirectly discriminatory, are linked to the subject- matter of the contract and are indicated in the contract notice, the prior information notice used as a means of calling for competition or the procurement documents. They may, in particular, be intended to favour on-site vocational training, the employment of people experiencing particular difficulty in achieving integration, the fight against unemployment, protection of the environment or animal welfare. For instance, mention may be made, amongst other things, of the requirements - applicable during performance of the contract - to recruit long-term job-seekers or to implement training measures for the unemployed or young persons, to comply in substance with fundamental International Labour Organisation (ILO) Conventions, while respecting the principle of subsidiarity, even where such Conventions have not been implemented in national law, and to recruit more disadvantaged persons than are required under national legislation.

Amendment 60 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 55 (55) In line with the principles of equal treatment, traceability and transparency, the successful tenderer should not be replaced by another economic operator without reopening the contract to competition. However, the successful tenderer performing the contract may undergo certain structural changes during the performance of the contract, such as purely internal reorganisations, mergers and acquisitions or insolvency. Such structural changes should not automatically require new procurement procedures for all contracts performed by that undertaking.

They should therefore be given a possibility to signal possible violations of this Directive to a competent authority or structure.
