Abstract
The purpose of this article is to present the problem of medical law in European terms. This article discusses the topic of European Union health policy. The history of EU integration in terms of the law governing medical standards will be traced. Specific provisions of the treaties and the most important directives will be discussed as well as landmark cases decided by the CJEU. Another element of the article is a summary of the community’s activities in terms of EU funding for health programmes through the European Health Plans. The change in funding and the emphasis on different is gradually transforming the way EU health policy is viewed. The article explains how the EU’s solutions work and the phenomena occurring within it, and this translates into understanding and being able to create future solutions that are better for Europeans.
