(80/154/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community, and in particular Articles 49, 57 and 66 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee(3),
Whereas, pursuant to the Treaty, all discriminatory treatment based on
nationality with regard to establishment and provision of services is
prohibited 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 midwife and also tothe registration, with or membership of professional organizations orbodies;
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 ofmidwives;
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 offormal 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 midwives; whereas suchcoordination is the subject of Directive 80/155/EEC(
4);
Whereas inthe Member States the law makes the right to take up an d
pursue the activities of midwife dependent upon the possession of amidwifery diploma;
Whereas, with regard to the possessionof a formal certificate of
training, since a Directive on the mutual recognition of diplomas does
not necessarily imply equivalence in the training covered by such
diplomas, 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, inadditionto formal
certificates of training, the person who satisfies the conditions oftraining required by this Directive must provide a certificate from thecompetent authorities of his country of origin or of the country fromwhich he comes stating that these certificates of training are thosecovered by the Directive;
Whereas, inthe case of the provisionof services, the requiremen t of
registration with or membership of professional organizations or1980L0154 — EN — 31.07.2001 — 006.001 — 2

bodies, since it is related to the fixed and permanent nature of the
activity pursued in the host country, would undoubtedly constitute anobstacle to the personwishin g to provide the service, by reasonof the
temporary nature of his activity; whereas this requirement should there-
fore 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 applicationof Article 62 of the
Treaty, that the person concerned may be required to submit to the
competent authority of the host Member State particulars relating tothe provisionof 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 to practise it;
Whereas, as far as the activities of employed midwives are concerned,
Council Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 of 15 October 1968 on freedomof movement for workers within the Community(
1) lays downn o
specific provisions relating to good character or good repute, profes-sional discipline or use of title for the professions covered; whereas,depending on the individual Member State, such rules are or may be
applicable both to employed and self-employed persons; whereas the
activities of midwives are subject inall Member States to possessionof a diploma, certificate or other evidence of formal qualification inmidwifery; whereas such activities are pursued by both employed andself-employed persons, or by the same persons in both capacities in the
course of their professional career; whereas, in order to encourage as
far as possible the free movement of those professional persons withinthe Community, it therefore appears necessary to extend this Directiveto employed midwives,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
