(4) Directive 2005/36/EC only applies to professionals who want to pursue the same profession in another Member State. There are cases where the activities concerned are part of a profession with a larger scope of activities in the host Member State. If the differences between the fields of activity are so large that in reality a full programme of education and training is required from the professional to compensate for shortcomings and if the professional so requests, a host Member State should under these particular circumstances grant partial access. However, in case of overriding reasons of general interest, such as in the case of a doctor of medicine or other health professionals involved in patients' safety, a Member State should be able to refuse partial access.

(15) The nursing and midwifery professions have significantly evolved in the last three decades: community-based healthcare, the use of more complex therapies and constantly developing technology presuppose a capacity for higher responsibilities for nurses and midwives. In order to prepare them to meet such complex healthcare needs, nursing and midwifery students need to have a solid general education background before they start the training. Therefore, admission to that training should be increased to twelve years of general education or success in an examination of an equivalent level, provided that the duration of the training course is at least fulfilling the total required minimum years of general education.

The review of that obligation has shown a need to clarify the role of competent authorities and employers notably in the interest of patients' safety. Language controls, adequate to deal with local patients, should however be reasonable and necessary for the jobs in question and should not constitute groundsbe preventive for exincluding professionals fromin the labour market in the host Member State.
