REGULATIONS TO BE OBSERVED BY ALL STUDENTS

1. All University courses are full-time, unless a different requirement is specifically laid down in the Regulations governing a particular course. It is expected that, in the vacations, all students will undertake academic studies or obtain approved professional experience. No occasional paid work during the vacations shall be allowed to conflict with this academic duty (...).

3. Every full-time student is required to keep the three University terms every year in full. Any student who wishes to be absent from the University for any term must first obtain the permission of the Head of the School or Department or, where appropriate, the appropriate officer of the University concerned.

Health conditions of migrants and refugees in Europe

Opinion
Social, Health and Family Affairs Committee

Rapporteur: M. Francisco Arnau, Spain, Socialist Group

I. Conclusions of the committee

1. 
   The committee fully supports the proposals put forward by the rapporteur of the Committee on Migration, Refugees and Demography and particularly draws the attention of the member states to the need to develop national policies that address more specifically the health needs of migrants, refugees and other displaced persons.
   
2. 
   The Council of Europe should indeed facilitate this process and develop guidelines in consultation with the relevant governmental and non-governmental organisations (draft recommendation, paragraph 9 ii).
   
3. 
   Furthermore, migrant workers should enjoy equal opportunities and treatment in respect of employment and social security, in accordance with the relevant international instruments.
   
4. 
   Finally, the committee points to the “Solidarity Card” recently introduced in Valencia (Spain), which enables illegal migrants living in that region to receive the same medical care as other citizens, as one possible way of guaranteeing this fundamental human right.
