2. Seeing beyond rhetoric - where are the European Public Administrations going? “It is acknowledged that healthcare services are not, under the most recent treaty agreements, included among the responsibilities contemplated for the EU institutions. It is also clear that national governments and the EU agree that the ‘European Union has neither the desire nor the ability to run (or to harmonise) national health systems’, but ‘what we cannot escape from, though, is the continuous convergence of these health systems’. Nevertheless, in the absence of an explicit common policy and strategy, the European Court of Justice has, through numerous rulings, filled the empty policy niche and, by default rather than by intent, has been creating a de facto emergent healthcare policy.” (European Commission, 2003, p. 42)
