45In those circumstances, the answer to the first question must be that, on a proper construction of Article 2(1)(c) of the ‘coordination’ directive and point 1 of the annex to that directive, as amended by Directive 82/76, and of Article 3(2) of the ‘coordination’ directive and point 2 of the annex to that directive, as amended by Directive 82/76:— the obligation to provide appropriate remuneration for periods of both full-time and part-time 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 binding only if the conditions for full-time training set out in point 1 of the annex to the ‘coordination’ directive, as amended by Directive 82/76, or those for part-time training, set out in point 2 of the annex to the ‘coordination’ directive, as amended by Directive 82/76, are complied with by the trainee medical specialists;— 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 full-time or part-time 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.
