COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION

Notification of evidence of formal Qualifications of specialised doctors and general practitioners

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/C 165/06)

Council Directive 93/16/EEC of 5 April 1993 to facilitate the free movement of doctors and the mutual
recognition of their diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications (1) and particularly
Articles 41 and 42(a) therein as well as Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and the Council
of 7 September 2005 on the recognition of professional qualifications (2), as amended by Council Directive
2006/100/EC of 20 November 2006 adapting certain Directives in the field of freedom of movement of
persons, by reason of the accession of Bulgaria and Romania (3), and particularly Article 21, paragraph 7
therein foresee 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 qualifica-
tions in the field covered by this Directive. The Commission shall publish an appropriate notice in the Offi-
cial Journal of the European Union, listing the names adopted by the Member States for the training qualifica-
tions concerned and, where applicable, for the corresponding professional title.

As the Netherlands has notified amendments to designations on the list of designations in Annex B and the
list of designations of diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications as a general medical
practitioner published in accordance with Article 41 of Directive 93/16/EEC as taken over in Annex V of
Directive 2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications needs to be modified.

The Annex B of Directive 93/16/EEC as well as Annex V of Directive 2005/36/EC on the recognition of
professional qualifications for the Netherlands needs to be amended as follows:

(1) Under Annex B of Directive 93/16/EEC and beneath the heading ‘5.1.2. Evidence of formal qualifications
of specialised doctors’ of Annex V of Directive 2005/36/EC the bodies awarding the qualifications
should read:

— ‘Medische Specialisten Registratie Commissie (MSRC) van de Koninklijke Nederlandse Maatschappij

tot bevordering der Geneeskunst’,

— ‘Sociaal-Geneeskundigen Registratie Commissie (SGRC) van de Koninklijke Nederlandse Maatschappij

tot Bevordering der Geneeskunst’.

The list of designations of diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications as a general
medical practitioner published in accordance with Article 41 of Directive 93/16/EEC as well as the
heading ‘5.1.4. Evidence of formal qualifications of general practitioners’ of Annex V of Directive
2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications need to be amended as follows.

(2) Under the list of designations of diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications as a
general medical practitioner published in accordance with Article 41 of Directive 93/16/EC and beneath
the heading ‘5.1.4. Evidence of formal qualifications of general practitioners’ of Annex V of Directive
2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications the evidence of formal qualifications needs
to be amended as follows. The evidence of formal qualifications should read:

‘Certificaat van inschrijving in het register van erkende huisartsen van de Koninklijke Maatschappij tot
bevordering der Geneeskunst (Issued by the Huisarts, Verpleeghuisarts en arts voor verstandelijk gehan-
dicapte Registratie Commissie (HVRC)’.

The relevant tables contained in Annex V of Directive 2005/36/EC shall, therefore, read as follows:

(1) JO L 165 du 7.7.1993, p. 1.
(2) JO L 255 du 30.9.2005, p. 22.
(3) JO L 363 du 20.12.2006, p. 141.
