A professional practising one of the professions referred to in Article L. 4364-1 who is a national of a Member State of the European Union or of another State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and who is established and legally practising the activities of one of the professions referred to in Article L. 4364-1 in a Member State or a State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, may perform professional acts in France on a temporary or occasional basis.
Where the practice or training leading to the profession is not regulated in the State in which he is established, the service provider must prove that he has practised in one or more States, whether Member States or Parties, for at least one year on a full-time basis or on a part-time basis for an equivalent total period over the previous ten years.
The performance of these acts is subject to a prior declaration, which must be accompanied by supporting documents, the list of which is set by order of the Minister for Health. The service provider must include a declaration of the language skills required to perform the service.
The service provider is subject to the conditions for practising the profession and to the professional rules applicable in France.
The professional qualifications of the service provider shall be verified by the competent authority after obtaining the opinion of a committee made up, in particular, of professionals, before the first service is provided. In the event of a substantial difference between the qualifications of the service provider and the training required in France, which is likely to harm public health, the competent authority shall subject the professional to an aptitude test.
The service provider may use his evidence of formal qualifications in the language of the State which issued them. He must indicate the place and establishment where he obtained it.
If the evidence of formal qualifications from the Member State or Party of origin is likely to be confused with evidence of formal qualifications requiring additional training in France, the competent authority may decide that the person concerned shall refer to the evidence of formal qualifications from the Member State or Party of origin in an appropriate form which it shall specify.
The provision of services shall be carried out under the professional title of the State of establishment, so as to avoid any confusion with the French professional title. However, if the qualifications have been verified, the services shall be provided under the French professional title.
