S.L. 437.43 Art. 13Provision of transitory services.

(1) The applicant shall provide transitory services in the field of veterinary surgery, with the same rights and obligations as veterinary surgeons exercising their profession in Malta; in particular he shall be subject to the rules of conduct of a professional or administrative nature which apply in Malta.

(2) Where the Council adopts a measure pursuant to sub-regulations (3) and (4) or becomes aware of facts which run counter to these provisions, it shall forthwith inform the counterpart body in the Member State where the applicant is established.

(3) The Council may require the applicant to make a prior declaration concerning the provision of his services where they involve a temporary stay in Malta. The Council may in all cases require a veterinary surgeon established in another Member State to supply a prior declaration of provision of services in the form of a prescription or of veterinary certificates not involving the examination of animals.

(4) The Council requiring such prior declaration shall take the steps necessary to provide the possibility that the declaration is made, where appropriate, for a series of services provided within one and the same region and in respect of one or more recipients within a given period of not more than one year: Provided that in urgent cases, this declaration may be made as soon as possible after the services have been provided.

(5) Pursuant to the provisions of this regulation, the Council may require the applicant to supply one or more documents containing the following particulars -

(a) the declaration referred to in sub-regulation (3);

(b) a certificate stating that the applicant is lawfully pursuing the activities in question in the Member State where he is established;

(c) a certificate that the applicant holds one or other of the diplomas, certificates or other evidence of formal qualification appropriate for the provision of the services in question and referred to in these regulations.

(6) The documents specified in sub-regulation (5) may not be produced later than twelve months after their date of issue.

(7) Where the Council temporarily or permanently deprives, in whole or in part, a Maltese citizen or a citizen of a Member State established in Malta of the right to pursue one of the activities of veterinary surgeons, it shall, as appropriate, ensure the temporary or permanent withdrawal of the certificate referred to in sub-regulation (5)(b).
