I.-Within a period of one month from receipt of the declaration, the Conseil national de l’ordre will inform the service provider, in the light of the examination of his file, either:
1° Either that he may commence the provision of services without prior verification of his professional qualifications ;
2° Or, where verification of his professional qualifications, which may only be for the purpose of avoiding endangering the health of patients and must not go beyond what is necessary for that purpose, reveals a substantial difference from the training required in France that is likely to harm public health and that cannot be compensated for by professional experience or by lifelong training that has been validated by a competent body, he must undergo an aptitude test to demonstrate that he has acquired the missing knowledge and skills. If they pass this test, the provision of services begins in the month following the decision on the aptitude test. If he does not, he will be informed that he may not begin to provide the services;
3° Or that he may not begin to provide the services.
II.-Within the same period of one month from receipt of the declaration, if examination of the file reveals a difficulty likely to cause a delay in its decision, the conseil national de l’ordre will inform the service provider of the reasons for the delay, indicating any missing documents and information. The decision will be taken within two months of the difficulty being resolved and, at the latest, within three months of the date on which the service provider was informed of the existence of the difficulty.
III – In the absence of a response from the conseil national de l’ordre within the deadlines set in the first paragraph of I and in the second sentence of II, the provision of services may begin.
