    Re:

    Reference for a preliminary ruling — Supreme Court of Ireland — Interpretation of Article 2(1) and (2) of Council Directive 85/433/EEC of 16 September 1985 concerning the mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications in pharmacy, including measures to facilitate the effective exercise of the right of establishment relating to certain activities in the field of pharmacy (OJ 1985 L 253, p. 37) — Scope of the discretion enjoyed by Member States in regard to the recognition of diplomas held by pharmacists working in new pharmacies open to the public

    Operative part of the judgment

    Article 2 of Council Directive 85/433/EEC of 16 September 1985 concerning the mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications in pharmacy, including measures to facilitate the effective exercise of the right of establishment relating to certain activities in the field of pharmacy, must be interpreted as meaning that a Member State which complies merely with the minimal level of recognition of diplomas laid down by that directive is not exercising any discretion conferred by that directive.
