Principle Of Territoriality

AbstractIn this paper we analyze the economic effects of the European Court of Justice’s (CoJ’s) jurisdiction on national health care systems in Europe, especially in Germany. We focus on the CoJ’s decisions concerning European patients’ rights to choose freely among suppliers of medical treatment within the European Union. The results are that national health care systems will face an increasing pressure to comply with the rules of the European Treaty. For Germany, this means that some traditional traits of its regulatory framework, especially the principle of territoriality, will have to undergo a test of “Europe-friendliness”. Unlike these qualitative aspects, we find that quantitative effects will remain more or less negligible for the nearer future and will mostly be confined to the sector of advanced technology medicine.
