Summary/Abstract: This opinion provides an assessment of the implementation of the Directive 2011/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council. The author shows that the bill is not fully consistent with the directive. He proposes corrections of ambiguous concepts and elimination of lacunas. It was stressed in the opinion that some solutions may cause limitation of patients’ rights to benefit from cross‑border healthcare and may impose unjustified obstacle to the implementation of Treaty‑guaranteed freedoms. The opinion indicates the solutions that may cause full implementation of the directive into national law.
