People have always travelled within Europe for work and leisure, although never before with the current intensity. Now, however, they are travelling for many other reasons, including the quest for key services such as health care. Whatever the reason for travelling, one question they ask is "If I fall ill, will the health care I receive be of a high standard?" This book examines, for the first time, the systems that have been put in place in all of the European Union's 27 Member States. The picture it paints is mixed. Some have well developed systems, setting standards based on the best available evidence, monitoring the care provided, and taking action where it falls short. Others need to overcome significant obstacles.

Access to health care abroad and patient mobility have generated active debate since judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Communities (ECJ) overruled the pertinent regulations, which made reimbursement by the social security system of medical services provided in another Member conditional on prior authorisation. In view of the Court these provisions infringed the principles of free movement of goods and services, which were held to apply to national social security systems. The rulings affected the balance between the economic freedoms enshrined in the Treaty which govern the internal market and the basic principles of social protection ensuring access to health care organised on a national level. The patients welcomed the Courtņs approach as a social improvement and a positive advance in the process of creating an internal market in health care. However, the Member States considered the rulings as encroaching on their prerogative of organising their protection and health systems in accordance with their own choices, operating rules and criteria for access to treatment and controls on the quality of care. Most of the governments also felt that unrestricted access to health care abroad would endanger the financial stability and planning requirements necessary for maintenance of essential health care services national territory. Up till now, the Member States do not share common interpretation of the jurisprudence and do not draw the same conclusions with regard to the right of patients to seek reimbursement for treatment abroad therefore cross-border mobility of patients is currently negligible. Since the issue is now attracting much attention, especially in countries where patients are confronted with waiting lists and other difficulties with access to specialised medical care further guidance is needed. This paper will present the major issues relating to the free movement of patients in the EU and assess the justificatory arguments put forward by the Member States. Moreover, it will consider whether the new legislative reform and simplification of the coordination Regulation and proposal of the Directive on Services in the Internal Market will bring better solution and more legal certainty into the issue of patient mobility.

Crucially, it summarizes available evidence on different quality strategies and provides recommendations for their implementation. This book is intended to help policy-makers to understand concepts of quality and to support them to evaluate single strategies and combinations of strategies.

This book explores the extent to which European Community law confers upon individuals the right to gain access to public services in other Member States. Are European citizens and third country nationals who have moved to other Member States entitled to claim minimum subsistence benefits,to receive medical care or to be admitted to education? Does Community law provide for a freedom of movement for patients, students and persons in need of social welfare benefits? If so, to what extent does Community law have regard for the Member States' fears for, and concerns about, welfare tourism? Besides addressing numerous detailed questions on the precise degree to which Community law allows for cross-border access to public services, the author analyses how Community law, and the Court of Justice in particular, have sought to reconcile the Community's objectives of realising freedom of movement and ensuring equality of treatment with the need to develop and maintain adequate social services within the Community. In addition, the book contains a detailed analysis of United States constitutional law on cross-border access to public services, exploring the question whether the European Community can possibly learn from the American experience.

This book is an attempt to inform the debate that is already taking place between Europe's policy-makers, looking at a series of case studies that illustrate the different aspects of patient mobility within the European Union and how Europe's health systems have responded to them. Most of the case studies presented in this book have been analysed within a project funded by the European Union's Sixth Framework Programme - Europe for Patients (e4p).

At present, health policy in the European Union (EU) is being developed in an extremely disconnected fashion. EU member States independently develop their own health systems, based on the goals they wish to pursue, without really considering consistency with European Community (EC) law. The impact of European integration is, in turn, mainly indirect and has emerged from European Court of Justice (ECJ) rulings. These rulings have arisen either from considerations in other sectors or through the process of addressing particular issues within single cases, leaving major issues of applicability unresolved. The evolving issue of free movement of patients is instructive. While not completely outlawing the use of a prior authorization system, recent ECJ rulings have radically restricted member States' discretion to determine their own policies by requiring that their decisions be necessary, proportional and based on objective and non-discriminatory criteria. By linking EEC Regulation 1408/71, on which cover for healthcare abroad has been traditionally based, with the free provision of services, the ECJ seems to have created difficulties and important uncertainties for the system of coordination of social security schemes.

Presenting a critical analysis of the Court of Justice's jurisprudence on EU free movement rights, this book explains the drivers behind the fragmentation of internal market law. It argues that the Court has a responsibility to articulate coherent framework principles applicable in national law, but also requires greater support from Member States.

Since its formation the European Union has expanded beyond all expectations, and this expansion seems set to continue as more countries seek accession and the scope of EU law expands, touching more and more aspects of its citizens' lives. The EU has never been stronger and yet it now appears to be reaching a crisis point, beset on all sides by conflict and challenges to its legitimacy. Nationalist sentiment is on the rise and the Eurozone crisis has had a deep and lasting impact. EU law, always controversial, continues to perplex, not least because it remains difficult to analyse. What is the EU? An international organization, or a federation? Should its legal concepts be measured against national standards, or another norm? The Oxford Handbook of European Union Law illuminates the richness and complexity of the debates surrounding the law and policies of the EU. Comprising eight sections, it examines how we are to conceptualize EU law; the architecture of EU law; making and administering EU law; the economic constitution and the citizen; regulation of the market place; economic, monetary, and fiscal union; the Area of Freedom, Security, and Justice; and what lies beyond the regulatory state. Each chapter summarizes, analyses, and reflects on the state of play in a given area, and suggests how it is likely to develop in the foreseeable future. Written by an international team of leading commentators, this Oxford Handbook creates a vivid and provocative tapestry of the key issues shaping the laws of the European Union.
