54In those circumstances, the answer to the question referred must be that Article 2(1 )(c) of the ‘coordination’ directive and point 1 of the Annex thereto, as amended by Directive 82/76, must be interpreted as follows:— the obligation to provide appropriate remuneration for periods of training in specialised medicine is binding only in respect of the medical specialties which are common to all the Member States or to two or more of them and are mentioned in Article 5 or Article 7 of the ‘recognition’ directive;— that obligation is unconditional and sufficiently precise in so far as it requires, for a medical specialist to be able to benefit from the system of mutual recognition established by the ‘recognition’ directive, that his training be fulltime and remunerated;— that obligation in itself does not, however, enable the national court to determine which body is liable to pay the appropriate remuneration or the level thereof.The national court is required, however, when it applies provisions of national law adopted either before or after a directive, to interpret them as far as possible in the light of the wording and the purpose of that directive.
