A request has been made to the EFTA Court dated 8 December 2020 from Héraðsdómur Reykjavíkur (Reykjavik District Court), which was received at the Court Registry on 8 December 2020, for an Advisory Opinion in the case of Zvonimir Cogelja v The Directorate of Health on the following question:
Does Article 25 of Directive 2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications (see also point (c) of the first paragraph of Article 3, and Articles 21 and 26 of that directive), require that an EEA State that issues evidence of qualifications (called a ‘specialist licence’ (Icelandic: sérfræðileyfi)) for a doctor that enjoys automatic recognition in other EEA States must itself administer the training, recognition of which is sought through the issuance of such evidence, with the result that an EEA State is not to issue such evidence if the training did not take place in that State?
