Brussels, 28/06/2007 (Agence Europe) - The European Commission has taken action to put an end to obstacles to the free movement of services in Austria and Portugal. The Commission has decided to refer Austria to the European Court of Justice over its legislation obliging doctors to open an account at a specific bank. It has also decided to formally request Portugal to modify its legislation on construction services and on the reimbursement of medical expenses incurred by patients in another Member State. These requests take the form of “reasoned opinions”. If there is no satisfactory reply within two months, the Commission may refer the matter to the European Court of Justice. (ol)
