De bestämmelser som antagits av rädet, i enlighetmed vilka medlemsstatema ömsesidigt erkänner de examensbevis över behörighetsgivandehÖgrc utbildning som utfärdats inom deras territorier, avser endast ett f&talyrken; pä liknande sätt har i alla medlemsstatema den utbildningsnivå ochutbildningslid som var villkoret for tillträde till dessa yrken regleratseller undergått den ytterst ringa harmonisering som krävs fÖr altexamensbevisen skall kunna ömsesidigt erkännas. ' EGT nr C 217. 3 och EGT nr C 143,10.6.1986. ' EGTnr C 345.31.12.1985. 80 och EGTnr C 309. ' EGTnr C 75. 3 4.1986, s 5. För alt snabbt kunna infria förväntningarna hos demedborgare i gcmenskapsländema som har examensbevis utfärdade efter avslutadhögre utbildning och utfärdade i cn annan medlemsstat än den där de vill utövasitt yrke, bör ocksä cn annan metod att erkänna sädana examensbevis tillämpas,sä att berörda penoncr skall kunna utföra all den yrkesverksamhet som t en värdmed lems stat är beroende av alt cn poslgymnasial utbildning avslutats,förutsatt att de har ett sädant examensbe vis som förberett dem for dennaverksamhet och som tilldelats efter minst tre ärs avslutade studier och som utfärdatsi cn annan medlemsstat. Detta mäl kan nås genom införande av en generell ordning forerkännande av examensbevis över behörighetsgivande högre utbildning, vilkautfärdats efter avslutande av utbildning. Vad gäller de yrken för vilkas utövande gemenskapen intehar fastställt någon lägsta kvalifikationsnivä, fÖrbchällcr sig medlcmssiaternarätten att fastställa cn sådan nivå i syfte att garantera kvaliteten på detjänster som produceras inom deras territorier; de får emellertid inte ulan attåsidosatta sina skyldigheter enligt artikel 5 i fördraget kräva att cn medborgarei en medlemsstat skall skaffa sig dessa kvaliftkationcr. vilka de vanligtvisavgör enbart under hänvisning till examensbevis som utfärdats enligt deraseget lands utbildningssystem, när personen i fråga redan förvärvat alla eller cndel av dessa kvalifikationer i en annan medlemsstat; som en fÖljd därav krävsalt alla värdmcdicmsslalcri vilka ett yrke är reglerat lar hänsyn till kvalifikationer som förvärvats i en annan medlemsstatoch avgör om dessa kvalifikationer motsvarar de kvalifikationer som denna statkräver. Det är lämpligt att medlemsstaterna samarbetar fÖr attunderlätta att dessa skyldigheter uppfylls; därför bör närmare bestämmelserfastställas for ett sädant samarbete. Begreppet regleradyrkestnässig verksainhet bör definierasså, att hänsyn las lill skiljaktiga nationella sociologiska förhållanden;begreppet bör omfatta inte endast yrkesmässig verksamhet som i en medlemsstatkräver innehav av ett examensbevia utan även yrkesmässig verksamhet som det ärfritt tillträde till, då den utövas med användande av en yrkestitel som ärförbehållen personer med vissa kvalifikationer; de yrkessam mans lutningar och-organisationer som tilldelar sina medlemmar dessa titlar och är erkända av deoffentliga myndigheterna kan inte åberopa sin privata karaktär for att undvikaatt den ordning som fastställts av detta direktiv tillämpas. 1992/93:64 Bilaga I tillämpningen av dessa bestämmelser; denna ordning skallendast fastställa lämpliga åtgärder fÖr alt se till aa invandrarna följervärdmedlems landets bestämmelser for yrket i friga. Artiklama 49, 57.1 och 66 i fördraget bemyndigar gcmenska-p>enatt anta bestämmelser som behövs for att införa och tillämpa en sädan ordning. Den generella ordningen för erkännandeav examensbcvia överbehörighetsgivande högre utbildning inverkar på intet sätt pä tillämpningen avartikel 48.4 och artikel 55 i fördraget. Genom att befästa en gemenskapsmcdborgaresrätt aU användasina yrkeskunskaper i vilken medlemsstat som helst kompletterar och förstärkeren sådan ordning hans rätt alt förvärva dessa färdigheter varhelst han önskar. Denna ordning bör utvärderas, sedan den varit i bruk underen , för att avgöra, hur effektivt den fungerar, och i synnerhet hurden kan förbättras eller dess användningsomrädc utvidgas. Det är även nödvändigt att bestämma vilka krav påyrkeserfarenhet eller anpassningstid som värdmedlemsstatcn fär kräva avpersonen i fräga förutom examensbeviset över behörighetsgivande högreutbildning, när personens kvalifikationer inte motsvarar dem som gäller enligtlandets bestämmelser. Ett lämplighets prov kan även inforas i stället foranpassningstiden; bägge kommer att fora med sig alt den rådande situationenförbättras i fråga om det ömsesidiga erkännandet av examensbevis mellanmedlemsstaterna, och att därför personemas fria rörlighet inom gemenskap>cnunderlättas; deras uppgift är all bedöma förmågan hos en invandrare som ar enperson som redan fått sin utbildning i en annan stat, att anpassa sig lill dennya arbetsmiljön; ur invandrarens synpunkt har ett lämplighets prov denfordelen att det förkortar praktikperioden; i princip bör invandraren fä väljasjälv mellan anpassningstid och lämplighctsprov; emellertid är vissa yrken avsådan natur att medlemsstatema måste fä lov att under vissa villkor kräva antingenanpassningstiden eller provet; speciellt gör skillnaderna mellanmedlemsstaternas rättssystem, även om de varierar från en medlemsstat till enannan, särskilda bestämmelser berättigade, efterson vanligtvis den utbildningsom intygas i ett utbildnings-, examens- eller annat behörighetsbe vis påjuridikens område i hemstaten inte omfattar den juridiska kunskap som krävs i värdmedlemsstatcnpå motsvarande juridiska område. Dessutom är avsikten med den generella ordningen forerkännande av examensbevis över behörighetsgivande högre utbildning varken attändra bestämmelserna, bl.a. dem som hänför sig till yrkesetik och som gäller iorenvar som utövar ett yrke i cn medlemsstat, eller all undanta invandrare från I detta direktiv används följande beteckningar med de betydelsersom här anges: a) Examensbevis: varje utbildnings-, examens- eller annatbehörighetsbevis, eller varje samling av sådana bevis eller annat bevismaterial som harutfärdats av cn behörig myndighet i en medlemsstat och som utformats ienlighet med statens lagar och andra forfattningar, som utvisar attinnehavaren med godkänt resultat avslutat en postgymnasial utbildning om minsttre är eller på deltid under motsvarande längre lid vid ett universitet eller cnhÖgre läroanstalt eller annan institution på motsvarande nivå, och där så ärlämpligt, att han med godkänt resultat avslutat den utbildning som krävsutöver den postgymnasiala utbildningen. som utvisar attinnehavaren har de yrkesmässiga kvalifikationer som krävs for au utöva ettreglerat yrke i denna medlemsstat,
