Judgment_paragraph 34 · Malta Dental Technologists Association and John Salomone Reynaud v Superintendent tas-Saħħa Pubblika and Kunsill tal-Professjonijiet Kumplimentari għall-Mediċina (C-125/16)

34Under Article 3(1)(a) of Directive 2005/36, ‘regulated profession’ means a professional activity or group of professional activities, access to which, the pursuit of which, or one of the modes of pursuit of which is subject, directly or indirectly, by virtue of legislative, regulatory or administrative provisions, to the possession of specific professional qualifications. Thus, the definition of ‘regulated profession’ within the meaning of that directive is a matter of EU law (judgment of 6 October 2015, Brouillard, C‑298/14, EU:C:2015:652, paragraph 36 and the case-law cited).
