55That comparative examination procedure must enable the authorities of the host Member State to assure themselves, on an objective basis, that the foreign diploma certifies that its holder has knowledge and qualifications which are, if not identical, at least equivalent to those attested by the national diploma. That assessment of the equivalence of the foreign diploma must be carried out exclusively in the light of the level of knowledge and qualifications which its holder can be assumed, by virtue of that diploma, to possess, having regard to the nature and duration of the studies and practical training to which the diploma relates (see judgments in Vlassopoulou, C‑340/89, EU:C:1991:193, paragraph 17; Morgenbesser, C‑313/01, EU:C:2003:612, paragraph 62; and Peśla, C‑345/08, EU:C:2009:771, paragraph 39).
