She noted that the provisions of the Treaty on the Union in terms of providing medical careto family members of the Member States workers were not fully implemented in the RussianFederation.

She noted that the Treaty on the Union provides for national treatment for the MemberStates nationals in the state of employment, which provides for the right to receive medicalassistance by the Member States workers on the same conditions and in the same manner asthose of the nationals of the state of employment, provided that they stay and work in the state ofemployment on legal grounds.
