I en tid med telemedicin og teleshopping forekommer det mig endvidere nødvendigt, at studieforløbene i medicin og farmaci på europæisk plan tages op til overvejelse, men ikke harmoniseres, og ligeledes vil jeg foreslå, at der ved universiteterne udbydes muligheder for at studere alternative behandlinger, at disse studier lægges til grund for udarbejdelsen af eventuelle koordinerende retsforskrifter og at udarbejdelsen af forskningsprogrammer inden for dette område fremmes.
I also believe that, in an age of Europe-wide telemedicine and teleshopping, the existing study courses in medicine and pharmacy should be reviewed rather than harmonized, and I would likewise propose that courses in nonconventional medicine should also be offered at universities. I welcome Mr Lannoye's proposals for the Commission to draw up studies on non-conventional medicine, using them as a basis for any coordinating legislation, and for the Council and Parliament to encourage the development of research programmes in this field.
