Directive on Services in the Internal Market

This procedure examines the effects of leaving health services outside the scope of the EU Services Directive. It aims to determine how this exclusion influences the free movement of healthcare services and whether it hinders the ability of patients and providers to operate across borders within the internal market.

This affects healthcare providers and patients across the EU. The findings may lead to recommendations on how to better balance public health protections with the right to provide services across member states.
