         DECISION No S1
   of 12 June 2009
   concerning the European Health Insurance Card
   (Text of relevance to the EEA and to the EC/Switzerland Agreement)
   2010/C 106/08
   THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMMISSION FOR THE COORDINATION OF SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEMS,
   Having regard to Article 72(a) of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the coordination of social security systems (1), under which the Administrative Commission is responsible for dealing with all administrative questions or questions of interpretation arising from the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 and Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 laying down the procedure for implementing Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 on the coordination of social security systems (2),
   Having regard to Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 concerning the entitlement of an insured person and the members of his/her family, staying in a Member State other than the competent Member State to benefits in kind which become necessary on medical grounds taking into account the nature of the benefits and the expected length of the stay,
   Having regard to Article 27(1) of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004,
   Having regard to Article 25(A) and (C) of Regulation (EC) No 987/2009,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The Barcelona European Council, held on 15 and 16 March 2002, decided: ‘that a European Health Insurance Card will replace the current paper forms needed for health treatment in another Member State. The Commission will present a proposal to that effect before the Spring European Council in 2003. Such a card will simplify procedures, but will not change existing rights and obligations.’ (point 34).

               (2)

               Given that the use of health and social security cards differs widely from one Member State to another, the European Health Insurance Card is initially introduced in a format in which the data necessary for the provision of health care and the reimbursement of the costs can be read with the naked eye. This information may additionally be incorporated in an electronic medium. The use of an electronic medium will furthermore become generalised at a later stage.

               (3)

               The European Health Insurance Card must conform to a single model defined by the Administrative Commission, which should both help facilitate access to health care and help to prevent irregular, abusive or fraudulent use of the card.

               (4)

               Institutions of the Member State determine the period of validity of the European Health Insurance Cards they issue. The period of validity of the European Health Insurance card should take into account the presumed duration of the insured person’s entitlement.

               (5)

               In the event of exceptional circumstances, a provisional replacement certificate of limited duration should be issued. ‘Exceptional circumstances’ may be theft or loss of the European Health Insurance Card or departure at notice too short for a European Health Insurance Card to be issued. The provisional replacement certificate can be requested by the insured person or the institution of the State of stay.

               (6)

               The European Health Insurance Card should be used in all situations of temporary stay during which an insured person requires health care irrespective of the purpose of the stay, be it for reasons of tourism, professional activity or study. However the European Health Insurance Card cannot be used when the purpose of the stay abroad is solely to obtain healthcare.

               (7)

               In accordance with Article 76 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004, Members States should cooperate to put in place procedures to avoid that, in the event that a person ceases to be entitled to sickness benefits in kind on behalf of a Member State and becomes entitled to benefits in kind on behalf of another Member State, he/she continues to use the European Health Insurance Card issued by the institution of the first Member State beyond the date from which he is no longer entitled to benefits in kind on its behalf.

               (8)

               The European Health Insurance Card issued before the entry into application of Regulations (EC) No 883/2004 and (EC) No 987/2009 will remain valid till the expiry date mentioned on the card.
               Acting in accordance with the conditions laid down in Article 71(2) of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004,

         HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

      General principles

               1.

               The European Health Insurance Card certifies the entitlement of an insured person and a pensioner as well as the members of their family, staying in a Member State other than the competent Member State to benefits in kind which become necessary on medical grounds taking into account the nature of the benefits and the expected length of the stay.
               The European Health Insurance Card cannot be used in the situation where the aim of the temporary stay is to receive medical treatment.

               2.

               The European Health Insurance Card shall be an individual card made out in the name of the card holder.

               3.

               The period of validity of the European Health Insurance Card shall be determined by the issuing institution.

               4.

               Benefits in kind provided by the institution of the Member State of stay on the basis of a valid European Health Insurance Card shall be reimbursed by the competent institution in accordance with the provisions in force. A valid European Health Insurance Card is a card where the validity period indicated on the card has not expired.
               The competent institution may not reject the refund of the cost of benefits on the grounds that the person has ceased to be insured with the institution which has issued the European Health Insurance Card, provided that the benefits were given to the holder of the card or the Provisional Replacement Certificate within the validity period of the card or the certificate.

               5.

               When exceptional circumstances prevent the issuing of a European Health Insurance Card, a provisional replacement certificate with a limited validity period shall be issued by the competent institution. The provisional Replacement Certificate can be requested either by the insured person or the institution of the State of stay.

               6.

               The European Health Insurance Card and the provisional replacement certificate shall conform to a single model meeting the characteristics and technical specifications laid down by decision of the Administrative Commission.

      Data contained on the European Health Insurance Card

               7.

               The European Health Insurance Card shall contain the following data:

                           —

                           surname and forename of the card holder,

                           —

                           personal identification number of the card holder or, when no such number exists, the number of the insured person from whom the rights of the card holder derive,

                           —

                           date of birth of the card holder,

                           —

                           expiry date of the card,

                           —

                           ISO code of the Member State issuing the card,

                           —

                           identification number and acronym of the competent institution,

                           —

                           logical number of the card.

      Use of the European Health Insurance Card

               8.

               The European Health Insurance Card can be used in all situations of temporary stay during which an insured person requires benefits in kind irrespective the purpose of the stay, be it for reasons of tourism, professional activity or study.

               9.

               The European Health Insurance Card proves the entitlement of the card holder in the Member State of stay to sickness benefits in kind which become medically necessary and which are granted during a temporary stay in another Member State with a view to preventing the card holder from being forced to return before the end of the planned duration of stay to the competent State or the State of residence to obtain the treatment he/she requires.
               The purpose of benefits of this type is to enable the insured person to continue his/her stay under safe medical conditions.

               10.

               The European Health Insurance Card does not cover sickness benefits in kind in situations where the aim of the stay is to receive medical treatment.

               11.

               The European Health Insurance Card guarantees that the card holder receives in the Member State of stay the same treatment (procedures and tariffs) as person covered by the sickness insurance scheme of this State.

      Cooperation between institutions in order to avoid misuse of the European Health Insurance Card

               12.

               In the event that a person ceases to be entitled to sickness benefits in kind on behalf of a Member State’s legislation and becomes entitled to benefits in kind on behalf of the legislation of another Member State, the institutions of the Member States concerned should cooperate in order to avoid the insured person continuing to use the European Health Insurance Card issued by the institution of the first Member State beyond the date from which he is no longer entitled to benefits in kind on its behalf. Where appropriate, the institution of the latter State shall provide a new European Health Insurance Card.

               13.

               This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union. It shall apply from the date of entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 987/2009.

         POLITICAL AND SECURITY COMMITTEE DECISION (CFSP) 2016/332
   of 23 February 2016
   on the appointment of the EU Force Commander for the European Union military operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina and repealing Decision BiH/22/2014 (BiH/23/2016)
   THE POLITICAL AND SECURITY COMMITTEE,
   Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 38 thereof,
   Having regard to Council Joint Action 2004/570/CFSP of 12 July 2004 on a European Union military operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Pursuant to Article 6(1) of Joint Action 2004/570/CFSP, the Council authorised the Political and Security Committee (PSC) to take the relevant decisions on the appointment of the EU Force Commander for the European Union military operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina (the ‘EU Force Commander’).

               (2)

               On 4 December 2014, the PSC adopted Decision BiH/22/2014 (2) appointing Major General Johann LUIF as EU Force Commander.

               (3)

               On 22 January 2016, the EU Operation Commander recommended the appointment of Major General Friedrich SCHRÖTTER as the new EU Force Commander to succeed Major General Johann LUIF as from 24 March 2016.

               (4)

               On 29 January 2016, the EU Military Committee supported this recommendation.

               (5)

               Decision BiH/22/2014 should therefore be repealed.

               (6)

               In accordance with Article 5 of Protocol No 22 on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark does not participate in the elaboration and the implementation of decisions and actions of the Union which have defence implications.

               (7)

               On 12 and 13 December 2002, the Copenhagen European Council adopted a declaration stating that the ‘Berlin plus’ arrangements and the implementation thereof will apply only to those Member States of the Union which are also either NATO members or parties to the ‘Partnership for Peace’, and which have consequently concluded bilateral security agreements with NATO,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   Major General Friedrich SCHRÖTTER is hereby appointed EU Force Commander for the European Union military operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina as from 24 March 2016.
   Article 2
   Decision BiH/22/2014 is hereby repealed.

title: 2014/839/EU, Euratom: Commission Decision of 25 November 2014 on the publication of information on meetings held between Members of the Commission and organisations or self-employed individuals

               Official Journal of the European Union

         COMMISSION DECISION
   of 25 November 2014
   on the publication of information on meetings held between Members of the Commission and organisations or self-employed individuals

      (2014/839/EU, Euratom)

   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on European Union,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 249 thereof,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 106a thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In accordance with Article 11(1) and (2) of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), the institutions must, by appropriate means, give citizens and representative associations the opportunity to make known and publicly exchange their views in all areas of Union action. They are also required to maintain an open, transparent and regular dialogue with representative associations and civil society. Further, in accordance with Article 2 of Protocol No 2 on the application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, and with Article 11(3) TEU, the Commission has to consult widely before proposing legislative acts.

               (2)

               For these purposes, the Members of the Commission, and members of their Cabinets, regularly meet with organisations or self-employed individuals, in order to learn about the difficulties they are confronted with and to understand their views on Union policies and legislation.

               (3)

               In accordance with Article 10(3) TEU, in order to facilitate the participation of European citizens in the democratic life of the Union and to ensure that decisions are taken as openly as possible, it is important to enable citizens to know what contacts the Members of the Commission and members of their Cabinets have with organisations or self-employed individuals.

               (4)

               Citizens already have a right of access to documents of the institutions pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1). This Decision does not concern access to documents nor the application of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001.

               (5)

               In line with the Political Guidelines of 15 July 2014 laid down by the President of the Commission, the Commission is committed to enhancing transparency in respect of contacts with stakeholders and lobbyists.

               (6)

               While there is no need for further measures with regard to the participation of Members of the Commission and members of their Cabinets in public events, since such information is already in the public domain, the publication of information on meetings held with organisations or self-employed individuals would further enhance the transparency of the action of the Commission.

               (7)

               The Members of the Commission should therefore make public information on meetings held by them or by members of their Cabinets with organisations or self-employed individuals on issues relating to decision-making and policy implementation in the Union.

               (8)

               Meetings with representatives of other Union institutions or bodies, which reflect the ordinary course of interinstitutional relations, are not covered by this Decision. Meetings with representatives of public authorities of the Member States are not covered by this Decision as those authorities pursue the general interest and contribute to the work of the Commission under the principle of sincere cooperation. In order to protect the international relations of the Union, meetings with representatives of public authorities of third countries and of international organisations are not covered by this Decision. This Decision is not applicable to the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of the Commission for the meetings she holds in her capacity as High Representative.

               (9)

               In order to respect the specific character of the dialogue with the social partners, provided for in Article 154 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), as well as the specific character of the dialogue with churches and philosophical and non-confessional organisations, provided for in Article 17(3) TFEU, meetings taking place in those contexts should not be covered by this Decision.

               (10)

               In view of the specific role of political parties recognised by Article 10(4) TEU, and given that the Inter-institutional agreement between the European Parliament and the European Commission of 16 April 2014 on the transparency register for organisations and self-employed individuals engaged in EU policy-making and policy implementation (2) provides that the register does not apply to political parties, meetings with representatives of political parties should also not be covered by this Decision.

               (11)

               Since in certain specific cases the publication of information on meetings may undermine the protection of the life, the integrity or privacy of an individual, the financial, monetary or economic policy of the Union, the market stability or sensitive commercial information, the proper conduct of court proceedings or inspections, investigations, audits or other administrative procedures; or the protection of any other important public interest recognised at Union level, the publication of such information should be withheld in such cases.

               (12)

               In accordance with Article 5(a) of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), the names of Members of the Commission as well as of members of the Cabinets who attend meetings with organisations or self-employed individuals can be made public; other individuals must have unambiguously given their consent.

               (13)

               This Decision is without prejudice to more enhanced transparency requirements or commitments resulting from Union legislation or international agreements concluded by the Union,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   1.   The Members of the Commission shall make public information on all meetings held by them and members of their Cabinet with organisations or self-employed individuals on issues relating to policy-making and implementation in the Union, in accordance with the provisions of this Decision.
   2.   The information to be made public shall consist of the date of the meeting, the location, the name of the Member of the Commission and/or member of the Cabinet, the name of the organisation or self-employed individual and the subject of the meeting.
   Article 2
   For the purpose of this Decision the following definitions shall apply:

               (a)

               ‘meeting’ means a bilateral encounter organised at the initiative of an organisation or self-employed individual or a Member of the Commission and/or a member of his/her Cabinet to discuss an issue related to policy-making and implementation in the Union. Encounters taking place in the context of an administrative procedure established by the Treaties or Union acts, which falls under the direct responsibility of the Member of the Commission, as well as encounters of a purely private or social character or spontaneous encounters are excluded from this notion;

               (b)

               ‘organisation or self-employed individual’ means any organisation or individual, irrespective of their legal status, engaged in activities carried out with the objective of directly or indirectly influencing the formulation or implementation of policy and the decision-making processes of the institutions of the Union, irrespective of where these activities are undertaken and of the channel or medium of communication used.
               This notion does not include representatives of other Union institutions or bodies, national, regional and local authorities of Member States and of third countries or international organisations. However, it covers any association or network created to represent regions or other sub-national public authorities collectively.

         Article 3
   1.   This Decision shall not apply to meetings held with social partners at Union level in the context of the social dialogue, or to meetings held in the context of the dialogue with churches, religious associations or communities, as well as with philosophical and non-confessional organisations
   2.   This Decision shall not apply to meetings held with representatives of political parties.
   Article 4
   1.   The information set out in Article 1(2) shall be published in a standardised format on the websites of the Members of the Commission within a period of two weeks following the meeting.
   2.   The publication of the information may be withheld where such publication could undermine the protection of one of the interests referred to in Article 4(1), (2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, in particular the life, the integrity or privacy of an individual, the financial, monetary or economic policy of the Union, the market stability or sensitive commercial information, the proper conduct of court proceedings or inspections, investigations, audits or other administrative procedures; or the protection of any other important public interest recognised at Union level.
   Article 5
