(2)

Is a training course in a practical training school for
public servants, such as the ENSP (E´ cole Nationale de la
Santé Publique; National School of Public Health), leading
to establishment in the public service, to be treated in the
same way as a diploma within the meaning of Council
Directive 89/48/EEC of 21 December 1988 (1) and, if so,
how was the equivalence of the diplomas from the
National School of Public Health, Lisbon, and the National
School of Public Health, Rennes, to be assessed?

If the answer to the first question is in the affirmative,
may the competent authority make admission to the
public service of public servants from another Member
State who rely on an equivalent diploma subject to
conditions, and in particular subject
to passing the
School’s entrance examination, even for those who have
sat a similar competition in their country of origin?

system for the recognition of higher-education diplomas awarded
on completion of professional education and training of at least
three years’ duration (OJ 1989 L 19, p. 16).
