, . EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
I.ORIGIN AND AIMS OFTHE PROPOSAL
I.On16June 1975 theCouncil adopted Directive 75/362/EECconcerning
themutual recognition ofdiplojnas ,certificates andother evidence of
formal qualifications inmedicine ,including measures tofacilitate the
effective exercise otthe right ofestablishment andfreedom toprovide
services ,together with Directive 75/363/EECconcerning thecoordination
ofprovisions laid down bylaw,regulation oradministrative action in
respect ofactivities ofdoctors *.
.^ ' '
2-The aim ofthis proposal istoamend these twoDirectives .Themain
amendment proposed concerns Directive 75/363/EECand relates topart-time
specialist training ,together with proposals forcertain technical
amendments tothe two Directives which itseemed advisable asaresult of
experience acquired since theentry into force ofthe Directives and
changes innational legislation.'
3^Thelegal basis fortheproposal isfound intheTreaty establishing
theEuropean Economic Community ,inparticular Articles 49,57and66.
II.PART-TIME SPECIALIST TRAINING
Article 2(1),C2)and (3)oftheproposal
\ '
1.Article 2ofDirective 75/363/EEC lays down the requirements for
training inspecialized medicine .Paragraph 1(c)ofthis Article
particularly states that such training shall begiven inafull-time
course .Article 3paragraph 1,ontheother hand ,although itconfirms
this principle ,authorizes part-time specialist 'training under certain
conditions .Moreover ,paragraph 3provides for areview ofthesituation
toenable theCouncil todecide whether ,onaproposal from theCommission ,
theprovisions ofparagraphs 1and 2should beretained oramended .
*Official Journal oftheEuropean Communities ,NoL167of30June 1975 .

2.InthiscontexttheCommission consultedtheAdvisoryCommittee on
MedicalTrainingsetupby.theCouncilDecisionof16June1975*.Having
examinedthequestion,theCommitteedelivered anopiniorionthepart-time
trainingofspecialists atitsmeetingon28and29November1978.
J
Themainconclusionintheopinionisthatfull-timetraining,as
prescribedinArticle2(1)(c)ofDirective 75/363/EEC,shouldbethenorm
andanyderogation therefromshouldbegrantedbythenationalauthorities
onlyinthecaseofdoctorswhosepersonalcircumstances ,suchasfamily
obligations,preventtheirattendance atfull-timecoursesthroughout
thetrainingperiod.
TheCommitteealsoconsidered thattoavoidthepossibility ofdifferent
interpretations ofthemeaningoffull-time andpart-timetraining,and
toensure,thatregardlessofthemethodoftrainingfollowed,itshould
beofacomparable highstandard,thecharacteristics offull-time and
part-timetrainingforspecialists shouldbedefined.Accordingly,
itattachedadefinition oftheseconceptstoitsopinion.
Lastly,theCommitteedidnotbelieveitwaspossibleforthetimebeing
tosingleoutfromamongthespecialized fieldsunderconsideration those
whereonlyfull-timetrainingwouldbepracticable .IncertainMember
Stateswherepart-timetrainingisrecognized,itispermissible inall
specialized fields,eventhoughincertaincasestheentirecurriculum
cannotbecovered.Accordinglyitrecommended thatthequestionshould
bereviewedinsomeyears'timeafteramorethoroughstudyhadbeenmade
