Summary/Abstract: On January 19, 2011, the European Parliament approved the second reading of the draft directive on the application of patients' rights in cross-border healthcare, and on February 28, the Council of the EU added its final approval. Member States will have two and a half years to transpose it into national law, so patients will feel its effects for the first time at the end of 2013, even though the first proposals for the regulation of cross-border care appeared as early as 2004. Why did the preparation of this European directive take so long? so long? What were the attitudes of the main actors and who had to back down? And does the approval even mean a substantial change?
