Shares in veterinary practices

Question for written answer  E-004814/2021
to the Commission
Rule 138
Nicolae Ştefănuță (Renew)

Under Romanian law, a precondition for the establishment and operation of a veterinary practice is that part of its share capital must be held by a qualified veterinarian. No minimum or maximum shareholding is specified. The veterinarian or one of the shareholders, if more than one, must be designated as the titular veterinarian and legal representative, at least as far as the College of Veterinarians in concerned.

Is national legal requirement for a veterinarian to hold part of the share capital of a veterinary practice that is being set up in line with current EU law?
