1	Recommendation 5 Cross border medical health care should be available to every patient but under the condition that permission is to be obtained by the relevant authority in certain Member States. A Member State should refund costs of treatment and trips for the patient. In a emergency cases only with applicable authority consent will be required, no necessity of personal presence of the patient and directing physician; the usage of e-media in admission process is possible.
2	Remarks: It is necessary to introduce a list of common/general diseases (‘basket of services’) for the entire EU, different costs in the treatment of such diseases should be refunded by EU. Common diseases should be treated in national health centres. EU budget should be focused on development and modernisation of such national centres. Rare diseases should be treated in Centres of Reference in entire EU. A general EU Information Centre should be established to facilitate the exchange of comprehensive information both on national health centres and Centres of References. Compulsory training for physicians on dissemination of information among the patients regarding accessibility of treatment in certain centres (further development of ORPHANET). The active part in the process of information dissemination should be also given to non-governmental organisations (recently sometimes it is the only source of reasonable information for patients) The concept of e-health should definitely be developed especially in the context of the contact between patients vs. physician and general practitioner vs. specialist. A new regulation by EU should come into force taking into consideration the model of the cross border health care vs the law on Private Data Protection.
