Ker Direktiva Sveta 93/16 EGS z dne 5. aprila 1993 o olajšanju prostega gibanja zdravnikov in o vzajemnem priznavanju diplom, spričeval in drugih dokazil o formalni izobrazbi [2] predvideva enostaven postopek pri kvalifikacijah splošnih zdravnikov in ker so izkušnje pokazale, da je postopek zagotovil zadostno pravno varnost, je zaželeno ta postopek razširiti na kvalifikacije, ki jih imajo medicinske sestre za splošno nego, zobozdravniki, doktorji veterinarske medicine, babice, farmacevti in zdravniki.
As 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(2) provided for a simple procedure in the case of general practitioners' qualifications, and as experience had shown that the procedure afforded sufficient legal certainty, it was considered desirable to extend that procedure to qualifications held by nurses responsible for general care, dental practitioners, veterinary surgeons, midwives, pharmacists and doctors.
