Subject: Advocate General Colomer maintained that the ban, provided for in the Greek legislation, on the reimbursement of medical charges for treatment received in private clinics in other European States, was incompatible with the freedom to provide services and appeared disproportionate and unjustified. The Advocate General recalled that it was not only necessary to take the fundamental freedoms of the Treaty into consideration but also the right to benefit from medical treatment, as guaranteed in article 35 of the Charter of fundamental rights.
