A number of Member States continue to express concern about communicating the complexities of the current legal situation, where cross-border healthcare is covered by two distinct sets of EU legislation (the Directive and the Social Security Regulations), despite the stipulation in Article 2(m) of the Directive, whereby the former applies without prejudice to the Social Security Regulations (see also recitals 28-31 to the Directive).
Għadd ta' Stati Membri għadhom juru l-inċertezza dwar kif għandhom jikkomunikaw il-kumplessitajiet tas-sitwazzjoni legali attwali, li fiha l-kura medika transkonfinali hija koperta minn żewġ korpi distinti ta' leġiżlazzjoni tal-UE (id-Direttiva u r-Regolamenti dwar is-Sigurtà Soċjali), minkejja l-istipulazzjoni fl-Artikolu 2(m) tad-Direttiva li permezz tagħha tal-ewwel tapplika mingħajr ħsara għar-Regolamenti dwar is-Sigurtà Soċjali (ara wkoll il-premessi 28 sa 31 tad-Direttiva).
