Notification of evidence of the formal qualifications of practitioners of dentistry and specialised
dentistry

(2005/C 123/03)

(Text with EEA relevance)

Council Directive 78/686/EEC of 25 July 1978 concerning the mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates
and other evidence of the formal qualifications of practitioners of dentistry, including measures to facilitate
the effective exercise of the right of establishment and freedom to provide services, as amended by Direc-
tive 2001/19/EC, and in particular Article 23a thereof, stipulates that Member States shall notify the
Commission of the laws, regulations or administrative provisions they adopt as regards the award of
diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications in the field covered by the Directive, and
that the Commission shall publish an appropriate notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, listing
the names adopted by the Member States for the training qualifications concerned and, where applicable,
for the corresponding professional title.

Since Italy and the Czech Republic have given notification of changes to the names for the training qualifi-
cations for practitioners of dentistry, and Greece and Italy have given notification of changes to the names
for the training qualifications for practitioners of specialised dentistry, the lists in annex to Directive 78/
686/EEC should be amended.
