The European Specialist Medical Qualifications Amendment (No. 2) Regulations 1999
These Regulations amend the European Specialist Medical Qualifications Order 1995 (“the 1995 Order"), which implemented European obligations contained principally in Council Directive 93/16/EEC (OJ No. L165, 7.7.93, p. 1) relating to the training of specialist doctors and mutual recognition of their qualifications (“the Directive"). The need for changes to the 1995 Order arises from amendments to the Directive made by Commission Directive 99/46/EC (OJ No. L139, 2.6.99, p. 25).
