The Infl uence of the European Union on the Dental Profession

Europska Unija uređuje područja koja ne mogu regulirati nacionalna zakonodavstva. Već je prihvaćeno nekoliko direktiva o stomatološkoj profesiji, a omogućuju europskim doktorima stomatologije da otvaraju ordinacije i obavljaju usluge u bilo kojoj državi članici. Pritom imaju ista prava i obveze kao i njezini državljani. Diplome, certifi kati i drugi dokazi o školovanju uzajamno se priznaju, kako bi se olakšalo slobodno kretanje unutar Unije. Također postoje i direktive o slobodnom kretanju robe, elektroničkoj trgovini, promidžbi i zahtjevima za stomatološkom izobrazbom na dodiplomskoj ili poslijediplomskoj razini. U ovom tekstu objašnjeni su najvažniji članci svake direktive, a želi li netko podrobnije podatke može pročitati dokumente koji ga zanimaju.The European Union regulates matters that cannot be covered by individual member states. Several directives regulate the profession of dentistry in order to give each European dentist the possibility to establish a dental practice and to provide services in any member state of the Union with the same rights and obligations as the nationals of that member state. The diplomas, certifi cates and other evidence of formal qualifi cations are mutually recognized in order to facilitate this free movement of dentists within the Union. Also the free movements of goods, e-commerce, advertising and the requirements of dental education at undergraduate or postgraduate level are guaranteed in other directives. The most important articles of each directive that have an infl uence on dentistry are explained further and the reader shall consult the directives if he wants to have a more detailed insight
