(77/452/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community, and in particular Articles49, 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 is
prohibited asfrom the end of the trans itional period; whereasthe prin-
ciple of such treatment based on nationality applies in particular to thegrant of any authorization required to practise as a nurse responsiblefor general care and also to the registration with or membership ofprofessional organizations 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 ofnurses responsible for general care;
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 be issued
for mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and other evidence of
formal qualifications;
Whereas it would appear advisable that, contemporaneously with the
mutual recognition of diplomas, provision should be made for coordi-nating the conditions governing the training of nurses responsibles forgeneral care; whereas such coordination is the subject of Directive 77/453/EEC(
3);
Whereasin s everal Member Statesthe law makesthe right to take up
and pursue the activities of a nurse responsible for general care depen-
dent upon the possession of a nursing diploma; whereas in certain otherMember States where this requirement does not exist, the right to usethe title of nurse responsible for general care is nevertheless governedby law;
Whereas, with regard to the possession of a formal certificate of
training, since a Directive on the mutual recognition of diplomas does
not necessarily imply equivalence in the training covered by suchdiplomas; the use of such qualifications should be authorized only inthe language of the Member State of origin or of the Member Statefrom which the foreign national comes;
Whereas, to facilitate the application of this Directive by the national
authorities, Member States may prescribe that, in addition to formal
certificates of training, the person who satisfies the conditions oftraining required by thisDirective mus t provide a certificate from thecompetent authoritiesof hiscountry of origin or of the country fromwhich he comes stating that these certificates of training are thosecovered by the Directive;1977L0452 — EN — 31.07.2001 — 007.001 — 2

(2) OJ No C 108, 26. 8.1970, p. 23.
(3) See page 8 of thisOfficial Journal.
▼B
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 be
satisfied to practise it;
Whereas, in the case of the provision of services, the requirement of
registration with or membership of professional organizations or
bodies, since it is related to the fixed and permanent nature of theactivity pursued in the host country, would undoubtedly constitute anobstacle to the person wishing to provide the service, by reason of thetemporary nature of hisactivity; whereasthisrequirement s hould there-fore be abolished; whereas, however, in this event, control over
professional discipline, which is the responsibility of these professional
organizations 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 thecompetent authority of the host Member State particulars relating to
the provision of services;
Whereas, as far as the activities of employed nurses responsible for
general care are concerned, Council Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 of
15 October 1968 on freedom of movement for workerswithin the
Community(
1) lays down no specific provisions relating to good char-
acter or good repute, professional discipline or use of title for theprofessions covered; whereas, depending on the individual MemberState, such rules are or may be applicable both to employed and self-employed persons; whereas the activities of a nurse responsible for
general care are subject in several Member States to possession of a
diploma, certificate or other evidence of formal qualification innursing; whereas such activities are pursued by both employed andself-employed persons, or by the same persons in both capacities inthe course of their professional career; whereas, in order to encourage
as far as possible the free movement of those professional persons
within the Community, it therefore appears necessary to extend thisDirective to employed nurses,
