Health to be excluded from European services directive

European politicians have now agreed that health services will not be included in plans to allow services to be provided across EU member states' borders.

The European Parliament voted on 16 February to exclude both public and private health services from the draft services directive, as suggested by its Internal Market Committee (PJ, 10 December 2005, p713).

The amended draft directive will now go to the European Council of Ministers for consideration.
