COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION

of 16 September 1985

concerning nationals of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg who hold a diploma in pharmacy conferred in a third State

(85/435/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Approving Directive No 85/433/EEC of 16 September 1985 concerning the mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications in pharmacy, including measures to facilitate the effective exercise of the right of establishment relating to certain activities in the field of pharmacy (1);

Noting that this Directive refers only to diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications conferred in a Member State;

Anxious, however, to take account of the special position of nationals of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg who, since there is no complete university training in the Grand Duchy itself, have studies in a third State;

HEREBY RECOMMENDS that the Governments of the other Member States should allow nationals of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg who hold a diploma conferring a degree in pharmacy awarded in a third State and which has obtained the official recognition of the Minister for Education, in accordance with the Law of 18 June 1969 on higher education and the recognition of foreign degrees and diplomas in higher education, to take up and pursue activities as pharmacists within the Community, by recognizing these diplomas in their territories.

Done at Luxembourg, 16 September 1985.

For the Council

The President

M. FISCHBACH
