In Case C-193/03: Betriebskrankenkasse der Robert Bosch GmbH v Bundesrepublik Deutschland — reference to the Court under Article 234 EC from the Sozialgericht Stuttgart (Germany), made by decision of 19 March 2003, received at the Court on 9 May 2003 — the Court (Sixth Chamber), composed of: A.

Grass, has given a judgment on 14 October 2004, in which it has ruled:
Article 34 of Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 of the Council of 21 March 1972 fixing the procedure for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 on the application of social security schemes to employed persons and their families moving within the Community, as amended and updated by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2001/83 of 2 June 1983, as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1399/1999 of 29 April 1999, is to be interpreted as not precluding a practice whereby a health insurance fund, in the application of national rules, reimburses medical costs incurred by its members during a stay in another Member State in full when those costs do not exceed DEM 200.
