Abstract

"The ex-post evaluation of the 2nd Health Programme 2008-2013 of the European Union was published by the European Commission 10 May 2016 with the aim of presenting the results and conclusions of the programme as well as improving the current 3rd Health Programme. On the subject of summarizing the results of EU health policy, an interesting question is how the EU can promote ‘smart’ solutions and ‘inclusive growth’ with regards cross-border healthcare in line with Europe 2020 strategy and the e-health action plan. This is a field, however, where health policy is strongly connected to several specific questions including economic and technological efficiency, social sustainability, the relation of EU law to the law of the Member States and even the international human rights approach. The current paper focuses on the question, how EU legislation can enable innovation and smart solutions while safeguarding fundamental rights of individuals, administrative autonomy of Member States and the sharing of competences within the EU. The analysis is primarily based on the documents of EU institutions complemented with the statements of the relevant international secondary literature. The review is completed by the aspects of jurisdiction and fundamental rights. "
