COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 25 July 1978
concerning the mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and
other evidence of the formal qualifications of pratitioners ofdentistry, including measures to facilitate the effective exercise of
the right of establishment and freedom to provide services
(78/686/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community, and in particular Articles 49, 57, 66 and 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee (2),
Whereas, pursuant to the Treaty, all discriminatory treatment based on
nationality with regard to establishment and provision of services isprohibited as from the end of the transitional period; whereas the prin-ciple of such treatment based on nationality applies in particular to thegrant of any authorization required to practise as a dental practitionerand also to registration with or membership of professional organiza-
tions or bodies;
Whereas it nevertheless seems desirable that certain provisions be
introduced to facilitate the effective exercise of the right of establish-ment and freedom to provide services in respect of the activities ofdental practitioners;
Whereas, pursuant to the Treaty, the Member States are required not to
grant any form of aid likely to distort the conditions of establishment;
Whereas Article 57 (1) of the Treaty provides that Directives shall be
issued for the mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and other
evidence of formal qualifications; whereas the aim of this Directive is
the recognition of diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formalqualifications of a dental practitioner enabling activities in the field ofdentistry to be taken up and pursued and the recognition of diplomas,certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications in respect of
practitioners of specialized dentistry;
Whereas, with regard to the training of practitioners of specialized
dentistry, the mutual recognition of training qualifications is advisablewhere these qualifications, while not being a condition for taking upthe activities of practitioner of specialized dentistry, are nonetheless a
condition for the use of a specialist title;
Whereas, in view of the current differences between the Member States
regarding the number of specializations in dentistry and the type or thelength of training courses for such specializations, certain coordinatingprovisions intended to enable Member States to proceed with the
mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and other evidence of
formal qualifications should be laid down; whereas such coordinationhas been effected by Council Directive 78/687/EEC of 25 August1978 concerning the coordination of provisions laid down by law, regu-lation or administrative action in respect of the activities of dental
practitioners (
3);
Whereas, although the coordination referred to above was not intended
to harmonize all the provisions of the Member States on the training ofpractitioners of specialized dentistry, it is nevertheless appropriate toproceed with the mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and other1978L0686 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 007.001 — 2

▼B
evidence of formal qualifications as a pratitioner of specialized
dentistry which are not common to all the Member States, withouthowever excluding the possibility of subsequent harmonization in this
field; whereas it was considered in this connection that recognition of
diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications as apractitioner of specialized dentistry must be restricted to those MemberStates where such specialization is known;
Whereas, with regard to the use of academic titles, since a Directive on
the mutal recognition of diplomas does not necessarily imply equiva-lence in the training covered by such diplomas, the use of such titles
should be authorized only in the language of the Member State of
origin or of the Member State from which the foreign national comes;
Whereas, to facilitate the application of this Directive by national
authorities, Member States may prescribe that, in addition to formalcertificates of training, a person who satisfies the conditions of trainingrequired by these authorities must provide a certificate from the compe-tent authorities of his Member State of origin or of the Member State
from which he comes stating that these certificates of training are those
covered by this Directive;
Whereas, in the case of the provision of services, the requirement of
registration with or membership of professional organizations or bodiessince it is related to the fixed and permanent nature of activitiespursued in the host country would thus undoubtedly constitute anobstacle to the persons wishing to provide the service, by reason of
the temporary nature of his activity; whereas this requirement should
therefore be abolished; whereas, however, in this event, control overprofessional discipline which is the responsibility of these professionalorganizations or bodies, should be guaranteed; whereas, to this end, itshould be provided, subject to the application of Article 62 of theTreaty, that the person concerned may be required to submit to the
competent authority of the host Member State particulars relating to
the provision of services;
Whereas, with regard to the requirements relating to good character
and good repute, a distinction should be drawn between the require-ments to be satisfied on first taking up the profession and those to besatisfied for its practice;
Whereas, as far as the activities of employed dental practitioners are
concerned, Council Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 of 15 October 1968
on freedom of move ment for workers within the Community (
1) lays
down no specific provisions relating to good character or good repute,professional discipline or use of title for the professions covered;whereas, depending on the individual Member State, such rules are ormay be applicable both to employed and self-employed persons;whereas the activities of dental practitioners are or will be subject in
all Member States to possession of a diploma, certificate or other
evidence of formal qualification in dentistry; whereas such activitiesare pursued by both employed and self-employed persons, or by thesame persons in both capacities in the course of their professionalcareer; whereas, in order to encourage as far as possible their free
movement within the Community, it therefore appears necessary to
extend this Directive to cover employed dental practitioners;
Whereas the dental profession is not yet organized in Italy; whereas it
is therefore necessary to grant Italy an additional period for recognizingthe diplomas of dental practitioners awarded by the other MemberStates;
Whereas, moreover, this means that holders of a doctor's diploma
awarded in Italy may not acquire a certificate meeting the requirementsof Article 19 of this Directive;
Whereas, in these circumstances, it is necessary to defer on the one
hand the obligation of Italy to recognize diplomas awarded by the other1978L0686 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 007.001 — 3
