The medical specialties are being intensively reconsidered in the countries of Europe. The important need is for promoting improvement of educational training programmes. ⋯ Support for the educational process is essential, to a much greater extent than occurs at present, if standards are to be improved and the confidence of the public is to be retained. The EC medical education system is the only existing international structure in medical education which is controlled by law, and is on that basis alone of the greatest interest.
