COMMON POSITION

adopted by the Council on 21 December 2004

with a view to adopting Directive 2005/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of ... on the recognition of professional qualifications

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2005/C 58 E/01)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 40, Article 47(1), the first and third sentences of Article 47(2), and Article 55 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

1

Having regard to the Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),

2

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),

Whereas:

| (1) | Pursuant to Article 3(1)(c) of the Treaty, the abolition, as between Member States, of obstacles to the free movement of persons and services is one of the objectives of the Community. For nationals of the Member States, this includes, in particular, the right to pursue a profession, in a self-employed or employed capacity, in a Member State other than the one in which they have obtained their professional qualifications. In addition, Article 47(1) of the Treaty lays down that directives shall be issued for the mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications. |

| (2) | Following the European Council of Lisbon on 23 and 24 March 2000, the Commission adopted a Communication on ‘An Internal Market Strategy for Services’, aimed in particular at making the free provision of services within the Community as simple as within an individual Member State. Further to the Communication from the Commission entitled ‘New European Labour Markets, Open to All, with Access to All’, the European Council of Stockholm on 23 and 24 March 2001 entrusted the Commission with presenting for the 2002 Spring European Council specific proposals for a more uniform, transparent and flexible regime of recognition of qualifications. |

| (3) | The guarantee conferred by this Directive on persons having acquired their professional qualifications in a Member State to have access to the same profession and pursue it in another Member State with the same rights as nationals is without prejudice to compliance by the migrant professional with any non-discriminatory conditions of pursuit which might be laid down by the latter Member State, provided that these are objectively justified and proportionate. |

| (4) | In order to facilitate the free provision of services, there should be specific rules aimed at extending the possibility of pursuing professional activities under the original professional title. In the case of information society services provided at a distance, the provisions of Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2000 on certain legal aspects of information society services, in particular electronic commerce, in the Internal Market (4) should also apply. |

| (5) | In view of the different systems established for the cross-border provision of services on a temporary and occasional basis on the one hand, and for establishment on the other, the criteria for distinguishing between these two concepts in the event of the movement of the service provider to the territory of the host Member State should be clarified. |

In view of the different systems established for the cross-border provision of services on a temporary and occasional basis on the one hand, and for establishment on the other, the criteria for distinguishing between these two concepts in the event of the movement of the service provider to the territory of the host Member State should be clarified.

| (6) | The facilitation of service provision has to be ensured in the context of strict respect for public health and safety and consumer protection. Therefore, specific provisions should be envisaged for regulated professions having public health or safety implications, which provide cross-frontier services on a temporary or occasional basis. |

Therefore, specific provisions should be envisaged for regulated professions having public health or safety implications, which provide cross-frontier services on a temporary or occasional basis.

| (7) | Host Member States may, where necessary and in accordance with Community law, provide for declaration requirements. These requirements should not lead to a disproportionate burden on service providers nor hinder or render less attractive the exercise of the freedom to provide services. The need for such requirements should be reviewed periodically in the light of the progress made in establishing a Community framework for administrative cooperation between Member States. |

The need for such requirements should be reviewed periodically in the light of the progress made in establishing a Community framework for administrative cooperation between Member States.

| (8) | The service provider should be subject to the application of disciplinary rules of the host Member State having a direct and specific link with the professional qualifications, such as the definition of the profession, the scope of activities covered by a profession or reserved to it, the use of titles and serious professional malpractice which is directly and specifically linked to consumer protection and safety. |

| (9) | While maintaining, for the freedom of establishment, the principles and safeguards underlying the different systems for recognition in force, the rules of such systems should be improved in the light of experience. Moreover, the relevant directives have been amended on several occasions, and their provisions should be reorganised and rationalised by standardising the principles applicable. It is therefore necessary to replace Council Directives 89/48/EEC (5) and 92/51/EEC (6), as well as Directive 1999/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (7) on the general system for the recognition of professional qualifications, and Council Directives 77/452/EEC (8), 77/453/EEC (9), 78/686/EEC (10), 78/687/EEC (11), 78/1026/EEC (12), 78/1027/EEC (13), 80/154/EEC (14), 80/155/EEC (15), 85/384/EEC (16), 85/432/EEC (17), 85/433/EEC (18) and 93/16/EEC (19) concerning the professions of nurse responsible for general care, dental practitioner, veterinary surgeon, midwife, architect, pharmacist and doctor, by combining them in a single text. |

| (10) | This Directive does not create an obstacle to the possibility of Member States recognising, in accordance with their rules, the professional qualifications acquired outside the territory of the European Union by third country nationals. All recognition should respect in any case minimum training conditions for certain professions. |

(10)

This Directive does not create an obstacle to the possibility of Member States recognising, in accordance with their rules, the professional qualifications acquired outside the territory of the European Union by third country nationals. All recognition should respect in any case minimum training conditions for certain professions.

| (11) | In the case of the professions covered by the general system for the recognition of qualifications, hereinafter referred to as ‘the general system’, Member States should retain the right to lay down the minimum level of qualification required to ensure the quality of the services provided on their territory. However, pursuant to Articles 10, 39 and 43 of the Treaty, they should not require a national of a Member State to obtain qualifications, which they generally lay down only in terms of the diplomas awarded under their national educational system, where the person concerned has already obtained all or part of those qualifications in another Member State. As a result, it should be laid down that any host Member State in which a profession is regulated must take account of the qualifications obtained in another Member State and assess whether they correspond to those which it requires. |

| (12) | In the absence of harmonisation of the minimum training conditions for access to the professions governed by the general system, it should be possible for the host Member State to impose a compensation measure. This measure should be proportionate and, in particular, take account of the applicant's professional experience. Experience shows that requiring the migrant to choose between an aptitude test or an adaptation period offers adequate safeguards as regards the latter's level of qualification, so that any derogation from that choice should in each case be justified by an imperative requirement in the general interest. |

| (13) | In order to promote the free movement of professionals, while ensuring an adequate level of qualification, various professional associations and organisations or Member States should be able to propose common platforms at European level. This Directive should take account, under certain conditions, in compliance with the competence of Member States to decide the qualifications required for the pursuit of professions in their territory as well as the contents and the organisation of their systems of education and professional training and in compliance with Community law, and in particular Community law on competition, of those initiatives, while promoting, in this context, a more automatic character of recognition under the general system. Professional associations which are in a position to submit common platforms should be representative at national and European level. A common platform is a set of criteria which make it possible to compensate for the widest range of substantial differences which have been identified between the training requirements in at least two thirds of the Member States including all the Member States which regulate that profession. These criteria could, for example, include requirements such as additional training, an adaptation period under supervised practice, an aptitude test, or a prescribed minimum level of professional practice, or combinations thereof. |

| (14) | In order to take into account all situations for which there is still no provision relating to the recognition of professional qualifications, the general system should be extended to those cases which are not covered by a specific system, either where the profession is not covered by one of those systems or where, although the profession is covered by such a specific system, the applicant does not for some particular and exceptional reason meet the conditions to benefit from it. |

| (15) | There is a need to simplify the rules allowing access to a number of industrial, commercial and craft activities, in Member States where those professions are regulated, in so far as those activities have been pursued for a reasonable and sufficiently recent period of time in another Member State, while maintaining for those activities a system of automatic recognition based on professional experience. |

| (16) | Freedom of movement and the mutual recognition of the evidence of formal qualifications of doctors, nurses responsible for general care, dental practitioners, veterinary surgeons, midwives, pharmacists and architects should be based on the fundamental principle of automatic recognition of the evidence of formal qualifications on the basis of coordinated minimum conditions for training. In addition, access in the Member States to the professions of doctor, nurse responsible for general care, dental practitioner, veterinary surgeon, midwife and pharmacist should be made conditional upon the possession of a given qualification ensuring that the person concerned has undergone training which meets the minimum conditions laid down. This system should be supplemented by a number of acquired rights from which qualified professionals benefit under certain conditions. |

| (17) | In an effort to simplify the system, particularly with a view to enlargement, the principle of automatic recognition should apply only to those medical and dental specialities which are common to at least two fifths of Member States. Medical and dental specialities which are common to a very limited number of Member States should be incorporated into the general system for recognition without prejudice to the acquired rights. In practice, the effects of this amendment should be limited for the migrant, in so far as these situations should not be subject to compensation measures. Moreover, this Directive should be without prejudice to the possibility for Member States to establish, amongst themselves, automatic recognition for certain medical and dental specialities common to them according to their own rules. |

(18)

Automatic recognition of formal qualifications of doctor with basic training should be without prejudice to the competence of Member States to associate this qualification with professional activities or not.

| (19) | All Member States should recognise the profession of dental practitioner as a specific profession distinct from that of medical practitioner, whether or not specialised in odontostomatology. Member States should ensure that the training given to dental practitioners equips them with the skills needed for prevention, diagnosis and treatment relating to anomalies and illnesses of the teeth, mouth, jaws and associated tissues. The professional activity of the dental practitioner should be carried out by holders of a qualification as dental practitioner set out in this Directive. |

With a view to simplifying this Directive, reference should be made to the concept of ‘pharmacist’ in order to delimit the scope of the provisions relating to the automatic recognition of the qualifications, without prejudice to the special features of the national regulations governing those activities.

| (22) | Holders of qualifications as a pharmacist are specialists in the field of medicines and should, in principle, have access in all Member States to a minimum range of activities in this field. In defining this minimum range, this Directive should neither have the effect of limiting the activities accessible to pharmacists in the Member States - in particular as regards medical biology analyses - nor create a monopoly for those professionals, as this remains a matter solely for the Member States. The provisions of this Directive are without prejudice to the possibility for the Member States to impose supplementary training conditions for access to activities not included in the coordinated minimum range of activities. This means that the host Member State should be able to impose these conditions on the nationals who hold qualifications which are covered by automatic recognition within the meaning of this Directive. |

| (23) | This Directive does not coordinate all the conditions for access to activities in the field of pharmacy and the pursuit of these activities. In particular, the geographical distribution of pharmacies and the monopoly for dispensing medicines should remain a matter for the Member States. This Directive leaves unchanged the legislative, regulatory and administrative provisions of the Member States forbidding companies from pursuing certain pharmacists' activities or subjecting the pursuit of such activities to certain conditions. |

| (24) | Architectural design, the quality of buildings, their harmonious incorporation into their surroundings, respect for natural and urban landscapes and for the public and private heritage are a matter of public interest. Mutual recognition of qualifications should therefore be based on qualitative and quantitative criteria which ensure that the holders of recognised qualifications are in a position to understand and translate the needs of individuals, social groups and authorities as regards spatial planning, the design, organisation and realisation of structures, conservation and the exploitation of the architectural heritage, and protection of natural balances. |

| (25) | National regulations in the field of architecture and on access to and the pursuit of the professional activities of an architect vary widely in scope. In most Member States, activities in the field of architecture are pursued, de jure or de facto, by persons bearing the title of architect alone or accompanied by another title, without those persons having a monopoly on the pursuit of such activities, unless there are legislative provisions to the contrary. These activities, or some of them, may also be pursued by other professionals, in particular by engineers who have undergone special training in the field of construction or the art of building. With a view to simplifying this Directive, reference should be made to the concept of ‘architect’ in order to delimit the scope of the provisions relating to the automatic recognition of the qualifications in the field of architecture, without prejudice to the special features of the national regulations governing those activities. |

| (28) | The establishment of a network of contact points with the task of providing the citizens of the Member States with information and assistance will make it possible to ensure that the system of recognition is transparent. These contact points will provide any citizen who so requests and the Commission with all the information and addresses relevant to the recognition procedure. The designation of a single contact point by each Member State within this network does not affect the organisation of competencies at national level. In particular, it does not prevent the designation at national level of several offices, the contact point designated within the aforementioned network being in charge of coordinating with the other offices and informing the citizen, where necessary, of the details of the relevant competent office. |

There is therefore a need to simplify the administration and updating of this Directive to take account of scientific and technical progress, in particular where the minimum conditions of training are coordinated with a view to automatic recognition of qualifications. A single committee for the recognition of professional qualifications should be set up for this purpose. |

| (35) | Since the objectives of this Directive, namely the rationalisation, simplification and improvement of the rules for the recognition of professional qualifications, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives. |

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Article 1

Purpose

This Directive establishes rules according to which a Member State which makes access to or pursuit of a regulated profession in its territory contingent upon possession of specific professional qualifications (referred to hereinafter as the ‘host Member State’) shall recognise professional qualifications obtained in one or more other Member States (referred to hereinafter as the ‘home Member State’) and which allow the holder of the said qualifications to pursue the same profession there, for access to and pursuit of that profession.

TITLE II

FREE PROVISION OF SERVICES

Article 5

Principle of the free provision of services

1.   Without prejudice to specific provisions of Community law, as well as to Articles 6 and 7 of this Directive, Member States shall not restrict, for any reason relating to professional qualifications, the free provision of services in another Member State:

| (a) | if the service provider is legally established in a Member State for the purpose of pursuing the same profession there (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Member State of establishment’), and |
| --- | --- |

(a)

if the service provider is legally established in a Member State for the purpose of pursuing the same profession there (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Member State of establishment’), and

| (b) | where the service provider moves, if he has pursued that profession in the Member State of establishment for at least two years during the ten years preceding the provision of services when the profession is not regulated in that Member State. The condition requiring two years' pursuit shall not apply when either the profession or the education and training leading to the profession is regulated. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

where the service provider moves, if he has pursued that profession in the Member State of establishment for at least two years during the ten years preceding the provision of services when the profession is not regulated in that Member State. The condition requiring two years' pursuit shall not apply when either the profession or the education and training leading to the profession is regulated.

2.   The provisions of this title shall apply where the service provider moves to the territory of the host Member State to pursue, on a temporary and occasional basis, the profession referred to in paragraph 1.

The temporary and occasional nature of the provision of services shall be assessed case by case, in particular in relation to its duration, its frequency, its regularity and its continuity.

3.   Where a service provider moves, he shall be subject to the disciplinary provisions of a professional or administrative nature which are directly linked to professional qualifications, such as the definition of the profession, the use of titles and serious professional malpractice which is directly and specifically linked to consumer protection and safety, which are applicable in the host Member State to professionals who pursue the same profession in that Member State.

Article 6

Exemptions

Pursuant to Article 5(1), the host Member State shall exempt service providers established in another Member State from the requirements which it places on professionals established in its territory relating to:

| (a) | authorisation by, registration with or membership of a professional organisation or body. In order to facilitate the application of disciplinary provisions in force on their territory according to Article 5(3), Member States may provide either for automatic temporary registration with or for pro forma membership of such a professional organisation or body, provided that such registration or membership does not delay or complicate in any way the provision of services and does not entail any additional costs for the service provider. A copy of the declaration and, where applicable, of the renewal referred to in Article 7(1), accompanied, for professions which have implications for public health and safety referred to in Article 7(4) or which benefit from automatic recognition under Title III Chapter III, by a copy of the documents referred to in Article 7(2) shall be sent by the competent authority to the relevant professional organisation or body, and this shall constitute automatic temporary registration or pro forma membership for this purpose, |
| --- | --- |

(a)

authorisation by, registration with or membership of a professional organisation or body. In order to facilitate the application of disciplinary provisions in force on their territory according to Article 5(3), Member States may provide either for automatic temporary registration with or for pro forma membership of such a professional organisation or body, provided that such registration or membership does not delay or complicate in any way the provision of services and does not entail any additional costs for the service provider. A copy of the declaration and, where applicable, of the renewal referred to in Article 7(1), accompanied, for professions which have implications for public health and safety referred to in Article 7(4) or which benefit from automatic recognition under Title III Chapter III, by a copy of the documents referred to in Article 7(2) shall be sent by the competent authority to the relevant professional organisation or body, and this shall constitute automatic temporary registration or pro forma membership for this purpose,

| (b) | registration with a public social security body for the purpose of settling accounts with an insurer relating to activities pursued for the benefit of insured persons. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

registration with a public social security body for the purpose of settling accounts with an insurer relating to activities pursued for the benefit of insured persons.

The service provider shall, however, inform in advance or, in an urgent case, afterwards, the body referred to in point (b) of the services which he has provided.

Article 7

Declaration to be made in advance, if the service provider moves

1.   Member States may require that, where the service provider first moves from one Member State to another in order to provide services, he shall inform the competent authority in the host Member State in a written declaration to be made in advance including the details of any insurance cover or other means of personal or collective protection with regard to professional liability. Such declaration shall be renewed once a year if the service provider intends to provide temporary or occasional services in that Member State during that year. The service provider may supply the declaration by any means.

2.   Moreover, for the first provision of services or if there is a material change in the situation substantiated by the documents, Member States may require that the declaration be accompanied by the following documents:

| (a) | proof of the nationality of the service provider, |
| --- | --- |

(a)

proof of the nationality of the service provider,

| (b) | an attestation certifying that the holder is legally established in a Member State for the purpose of pursuing the activities concerned, |
| --- | --- |

(b)

| --- | --- |

evidence of professional qualifications,

| (d) | for cases referred to in Article 5(1)(b), any means of proof that the service provider has pursued the activity concerned for at least two years during the previous ten years. |
| --- | --- |

(d)

for cases referred to in Article 5(1)(b), any means of proof that the service provider has pursued the activity concerned for at least two years during the previous ten years.

3.   The service shall be provided under the professional title of the Member State of establishment, insofar as such a title exists in that Member State for the professional activity in question. That title shall be indicated in the official language or one of the official languages of the Member State of establishment in such a way as to avoid any confusion with the professional title of the host Member State. Where no such professional title exists in the Member State of establishment, the service provider shall indicate his formal qualification in the official language or one of the official languages of that Member State. By way of exception, the service shall be provided under the professional title of the host Member State for cases referred to in Title III Chapter III.

4.   For the first provision of services, in the case of regulated professions having public health or safety implications, which do not benefit from automatic recognition under Title III Chapter III, the competent authority of the host Member State may check the professional qualifications of the service provider prior to the first provision of services. Such a prior check shall be possible only where the purpose of the check is to avoid serious damage to the health or safety of the service recipient due to a lack of professional qualification of the service provider and where this does not go beyond what is necessary for that purpose.

Within a maximum of one month of receipt of the declaration and accompanying documents, the competent authority shall endeavour to inform the service provider either of its decision not to check his qualifications or of the outcome of such check. Where there is a difficulty which would result in delay, the competent authority shall notify the service provider within the first month of the reason for the delay and the timescale for a decision, which must be finalised within the second month of receipt of completed documentation.

Where there is a substantial difference between the professional qualifications of the service provider and the training required in the host Member State, to the extent that that difference is such as to be harmful to public health or safety, the host Member State shall give the service provider the opportunity to show, in particular by means of an aptitude test, that he has acquired the knowledge or competence lacking. In any case, it must be possible to provide the service within one month of a decision being taken in accordance with the previous subparagraph.

In the absence of a reaction of the competent authority within the deadlines set in the previous subparagraphs, the service may be provided.

In cases where qualifications have been verified under this paragraph, the service shall be provided under the professional title of the host Member State.

Article 8

Administrative cooperation

1.   The competent authorities of the host Member State may ask the competent authorities of the Member State of establishment, for each provision of services, to provide any information relevant to the legality of the service provider's establishment and his good conduct, as well as the absence of any disciplinary or criminal sanctions of a professional nature. The competent authorities of the Member State of establishment shall provide this information in accordance with the provisions of Article 56.

2.   The competent authorities shall ensure the exchange of all information necessary for complaints by a recipient of a service against a service provider to be correctly pursued. Recipients shall be informed of the outcome of the complaint.

Article 9

Information to be given to the recipients of the service

In cases where the service is provided under the professional title of the Member State of establishment or under the formal qualification of the service provider, in addition to the other requirements relating to information contained in Community law, the competent authorities of the host Member State may require the service provider to furnish the recipient of the service with any or all of the following information:

If access to or pursuit of a regulated profession in a host Member State is contingent upon possession of specific professional qualifications, the competent authority of that Member State shall permit access to and pursuit of that profession, under the same conditions as apply to its nationals, to applicants possessing the attestation of competence or evidence of formal qualifications required by another Member State in order to gain access to and pursue that profession on its territory.

Attestations of competence or evidence of formal qualifications shall satisfy the following conditions:

| (a) | they shall have been issued by a competent authority in a Member State, designated in accordance with the legislative, regulatory or administrative provisions of that Member State; |
| --- | --- |

(a)

they shall have been issued by a competent authority in a Member State, designated in accordance with the legislative, regulatory or administrative provisions of that Member State;

| --- | --- |

(b)

they shall attest a level of professional qualification at least equivalent to the level immediately prior to that which is required in the host Member State, as described in Article 11.

2.   Access to and pursuit of the profession, as described in paragraph 1, shall also be granted to applicants who have pursued the profession referred to in that paragraph on a full-time basis for two years during the previous 10 years in another Member State which does not regulate that profession, providing they possess one or more attestations of competence or documents providing evidence of formal qualifications.

Attestations of competence and evidence of formal qualifications shall satisfy the following conditions:

| (a) | they shall have been issued by a competent authority in a Member State, designated in accordance with the legislative, regulatory or administrative provisions of that Member State; |

| --- | --- |

(c)

they shall attest that the holder has been prepared for the pursuit of the profession in question.

The two years' professional experience referred to in the first subparagraph may not, however, be required if the evidence of formal qualifications which the applicant possesses certifies regulated education and training within the meaning of Article 3(1)(d) at levels B, C or D as described in Article 11. The regulated education and training listed in Annex III shall be considered as such regulated education and training at level C. The list in Annex III may be amended in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 58(2) in order to take account of regulated education and training which provides a comparable professional standard and which prepares the trainee for a comparable level of responsibilities and functions.

3.   The host Member State shall not be obliged to apply this Article where access to a regulated profession is contingent in its territory upon possession of a level D qualification certifying successful completion of higher or university education of more than four years' duration, and where the applicant possesses a level C qualification.

Article 14

Compensation measures

1.   Article 13 does not preclude the host Member State from requiring the applicant to complete an adaptation period of up to three years or to take an aptitude test if:

| (a) | the duration of the training of which he provides evidence under the terms of Article 13, paragraph 1 or 2, is at least one year shorter than that required by the host Member State; |
| --- | --- |

(a)

the duration of the training of which he provides evidence under the terms of Article 13, paragraph 1 or 2, is at least one year shorter than that required by the host Member State;

| (b) | the training he has received covers substantially different matters than those covered by the evidence of formal qualifications required in the host Member State; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the training he has received covers substantially different matters than those covered by the evidence of formal qualifications required in the host Member State;

| (c) | the regulated profession in the host Member State comprises one or more regulated professional activities which do not exist in the corresponding profession in the applicant's home Member State within the meaning of Article 4(2), and that difference consists in specific training which is required in the host Member State and which covers substantially different matters from those covered by the applicant's attestation of competence or evidence of formal qualifications. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

the regulated profession in the host Member State comprises one or more regulated professional activities which do not exist in the corresponding profession in the applicant's home Member State within the meaning of Article 4(2), and that difference consists in specific training which is required in the host Member State and which covers substantially different matters from those covered by the applicant's attestation of competence or evidence of formal qualifications.

2.   If the host Member State makes use of the option provided for in paragraph 1, it must offer the applicant the choice between an adaptation period and an aptitude test.

Where a Member State considers, with respect to a given profession, that it is necessary to derogate from the requirement, set out in the previous subparagraph, that it give the applicant a choice between an adaptation period and an aptitude test, it shall inform the other Member States and the Commission in advance and provide sufficient justification for the derogation.

If, after receiving all necessary information, the Commission considers that the derogation referred to in the second subparagraph is inappropriate or that it is not in accordance with Community law, it shall, within three months, ask the Member State in question to refrain from taking the envisaged measure. In the absence of a response from the Commission within the above-mentioned deadline, the derogation may be applied.

3.   By way of derogation from the principle of the right of the applicant to choose, as laid down in paragraph 2, for professions whose pursuit requires precise knowledge of national law and in respect of which the provision of advice and/or assistance concerning national law is an essential and constant aspect of the professional activity, the host Member State may stipulate either an adaptation period or an aptitude test.

This applies also to the cases provided for in Article 10 (b) and (c), in Article 10 (d) concerning doctors and dental practitioners, in Article 10 (f) when the migrant seeks recognition in another Member State where the relevant professional activities are pursued by nurses responsible for general care or specialised nurses holding evidence of formal qualifications as a specialist which follows the training leading to the possession of the titles listed in Annex V, point 5.2.2 and in Article 10 (g).

In the cases covered by Article 10(a), the host Member State may require an adaptation period or an aptitude test if the migrant envisages pursuing professional activities in a self-employed capacity or as a manager of an undertaking which require the knowledge and the application of the specific national rules in force, provided that knowledge and application of those rules are required by the competent authorities of the host Member State for access to such activities by its own nationals.

4.   For the purpose of applying paragraph 1(b) and (c), ‘substantially different matters’ means matters of which knowledge is essential for pursuing the profession and with regard to which the training received by the migrant shows important differences in terms of duration or content from the training required by the host Member State.

5.   Paragraph 1 shall be applied with due regard to the principle of proportionality. In particular, if the host Member State intends to require the applicant to complete an adaptation period or take an aptitude test, it must first ascertain whether the knowledge acquired by the applicant in the course of his professional experience in a Member State or in a third country, is of a nature to cover, in full or in part, the substantial difference referred to in paragraph 4.

Article 15

Waiving of compensation measures on the basis of common platforms

1.   For the purpose of this Article, ‘common platforms’ is defined as a set of criteria of professional qualifications which are suitable for compensating for substantial differences which have been identified between the training requirements existing in the various Member States for a given profession. These substantial differences shall be identified by comparison between the duration and contents of the training in at least two thirds of the Member States, including all Member States which regulate this profession. The differences in the contents of the training may result from substantial differences in the scope of the professional activities.

2.   Common platforms as defined in paragraph 1 may be submitted to the Commission by Member States or by professional associations which are representative at national and European level. If the Commission, after consulting the Member States, is of the opinion that a draft common platform facilitates the mutual recognition of professional qualifications, it may present draft measures with a view to their adoption in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 58(2).

3.   Where the applicant's professional qualifications satisfy the criteria established in the measure adopted in accordance with paragraph 2, the host Member State shall waive the application of compensation measures under Article 14.

4.   Paragraphs 1 to 3 shall not affect the competence of Member States to decide the professional qualifications required for the pursuit of professions in their territory as well as the contents and the organisation of their systems of education and professional training.

5.   If a Member State considers that the criteria established in a measure adopted in accordance with paragraph 2 no longer offer adequate guarantees with regard to professional qualifications, it shall inform the Commission accordingly, which shall, if appropriate, present a draft measure in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 58(2).

6.   The Commission shall, by... (24), submit to the European Parliament and the Council a report on the operation of this Article and, if necessary, appropriate proposals for amending this Article.

The Council adopted its common position according to Article 251 of the EC Treaty on 21 December 2004

II.   AIMS

| 6. | The over-arching aim of the proposal is consolidation and simplification. It seeks to consolidate into a single Directive the twelve ‘sectoral’ Directives covering doctors, nurses responsible for general care, dental practitioners, veterinary surgeons, midwives, pharmacists and architects, as well as the three ‘general system’ Directives, in order to provide a simpler and clearer set of rules for the professions concerned. While maintaining the principal conditions and guarantees, it simplifies the structure and improves the working of the system. It also provides for simpler conditions for the cross-frontier provision of services than those applicable to freedom of establishment, in order to contribute further to the flexibility of labour and services markets. Administrative simplification is sought by replacing a number of existing committees by a single regulatory committee. The proposal also includes a number of provisions concerning enhanced cooperation between national administrations and with the Commission for the provision of information and advice to citizens and for problem solving. |

III.   COMMON POSITION

Title I — General provisions

| 7. | The Council has replaced ‘regulated professional activities’ in Article 2(2) by ‘a regulated profession within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)’, since the former term is not defined in Article 3 while the latter is. |
| --- | --- |

7.

The Council has replaced ‘regulated professional activities’ in Article 2(2) by ‘a regulated profession within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)’, since the former term is not defined in Article 3 while the latter is.

| 8. | In order to clarify the relationship between this Directive and existing Directives other than those which are repealed by Article 57 of the proposal (Article 61 of the common position) (5), the Council has added a new paragraph 3 in Article 2 and a new recital (recital 37 of the common position). |
| --- | --- |

8.

In order to clarify the relationship between this Directive and existing Directives other than those which are repealed by Article 57 of the proposal (Article 61 of the common position) (5), the Council has added a new paragraph 3 in Article 2 and a new recital (recital 37 of the common position).

| 9. | The European Parliament has proposed a new paragraph 2a in Article 2, which would exclude notaries from the scope of this Directive. The Council has not accepted this amendment for the reasons given by the Commission in its amended proposal.
  In this context, the Council has accepted the spirit of the European Parliament's amendment 31 in recital 31 (recital 36 of the common position), while aligning the wording more closely on that of Article 45 of the EC Treaty. Moreover, the Council considers it superfluous to state that a Directive is without prejudice to the application of provisions of the Treaty (Articles 45 and 39(4)) and has therefore deleted this statement from this recital. The Council also considers that the reference to health and consumer protection merits a separate recital (recital 38 of the common position). |

| 10. | The European Parliament has proposed a new Article 2a which would extend the scope of the Directive to third-country nationals (amendment 36). The Council has not accepted this amendment for the reasons given by the Commission in its amended proposal. For similar reasons, the Council has limited the application of Article 2(2) to ‘Member State nationals’. |

For similar reasons, the Council has limited the application of Article 2(2) to ‘Member State nationals’.

| 11. | In Article 3(1), the Council has added further definitions (d) to (h), taking over definitions already used in existing Directives. Similarly, the Council has added further clarification to Article 3(1)(a) and (2), using wording taken from Article 1 of Directive 92/51/EEC. |

The European Parliament has proposed adding a definition of ‘liberal profession’ in Article 3(1) (amendment 37). The Council has not accepted this amendment for the reasons given by the Commission in its amended proposal.

13.

The European Parliament has proposed an addition to Article 3(3) (amendment 38). The Council agrees with the Commission that this addition is superfluous and has therefore not accepted it.

| 14. | The European Parliament has proposed (amendment 39) referring not only to rights but also to obligations in Article 4(1). The Commission accepts this amendment in principle in its amended proposal, while preferring to use the terminology of Directives 89/48/EEC and 92/51/EEC (‘same conditions’). The Council has followed the Commission in this respect. |

14.

The European Parliament has proposed (amendment 39) referring not only to rights but also to obligations in Article 4(1). The Commission accepts this amendment in principle in its amended proposal, while preferring to use the terminology of Directives 89/48/EEC and 92/51/EEC (‘same conditions’). The Council has followed the Commission in this respect.

| 15. | Article 4(3) of the Commission's proposal concerns the situation where the profession for which the applicant is qualified in the home Member State constitutes an autonomous activity of a profession covering a wider field of activities in the host Member State; it requires that recognition of the applicant's qualifications give him access to that activity alone in the host Member State if the difference is too great to be made up by a compensation measure under Article 14. The Council is opposed to an obligation on Member States to grant partial access to a profession in this way and has therefore deleted this provision. As a consequence, the amendments proposed by the European Parliament to Article 4(3) (amendments 41 and 139) are no longer necessary. The Council has also deleted the second subparagraph of Article 48(1) as redundant in the absence of Article 4(3) (this corresponds to the European Parliament's amendment 112). |

Title II — Free provision of services

| 16. | The existing ‘general system’ Directives do not contain specific provisions on the conditions applicable to the cross-border provision of services. The purpose of Title II of the Commission's proposal is to lay down provisions making it clear that less onerous conditions should be applied to the temporary and occasional cross-frontier provision of services than apply to the right of establishment, in accordance with the case-law of the Court of Justice. The Council, while agreeing with this objective, has introduced a number of changes intended mainly to strike a better balance between the facilitation of cross-border service provision on a temporary and occasional basis on the one hand and strict respect for public health and safety and consumer protection on the other. These changes are explained in more detail below. |

These changes are explained in more detail below.

| 17. | The Commission proposed in Article 5(2) a presumption that cross-border service provision on a temporary and occasional basis would not exceed sixteen weeks per year. The European Parliament (amendments 45 and 4) has proposed removing this presumption. The Council agrees with the European Parliament that no single time criterion would be appropriate for all professions and in all circumstances, and has therefore opted for a provision whereby the temporary and occasional nature of the provision of services is to be assessed case by case, in particular in relation to its duration, its frequency, its regularity and its continuity. Recital 5 has also been adapted accordingly. |

Recital 5 has also been adapted accordingly.

| 18. | Article 5(1)(b) of the proposal contains a condition that the service provider has pursued the profession concerned for at last two years in the Member State of establishment in cases where that profession is not regulated in the Member State of establishment. The Council considers that, in the interests of consumer protection, these two years should fall within the last ten years prior to the provision of the service. It also considers that the two-year requirement should not apply where, although the profession concerned is not regulated in the Member State of establishment, the education and training leading to the profession is regulated. |

It also considers that the two-year requirement should not apply where, although the profession concerned is not regulated in the Member State of establishment, the education and training leading to the profession is regulated.

| 19. | The Council considers that, where the temporary or occasional service provision involves the service provider's physical presence in the host Member State, the service provider should be subject to certain disciplinary provisions of the host Member State in the interest of consumer protection and safety. For reasons of proportionality, Article 5(3) of the common position and the accompanying recital (recital 8 of the common position) limit the disciplinary provisions applicable to those which are strictly relevant. |

| 20. | Article 6(a) of the proposal exempts temporary and occasional service providers established in another Member State from requirements relating to authorisation by, registration with, or membership of, a professional organisation or body in the host Member State. In order to facilitate the application of the host Member State's disciplinary provisions where necessary (see point 19 above), the Council has added the possibility for Member States to derogate from this exemption by providing for either automatic temporary registration with, or pro forma membership of, such an organisation or body. This derogation is also based in part on the European Parliament's amendments 141 and 5, including the proviso that such registration or membership should not delay or complicate in any way the provision of services and should not entail any additional costs for the service provider. In the light of this general derogation, the Council does not consider it necessary to make a specific derogation from Article 6 for service providers who are subject to a special professional liability regime, as proposed by the European Parliament in its amendments 189 and 143. |

| 21. | Under Article 7 of the Commission proposal, the service provider who moves to the host Member State to provide services on a temporary or occasional basis would be required to inform in advance the contact point of the Member State of establishme nt. The European Parliament has proposed (amendment 50) that he should inform the competent bodies in both the Member State of establishment and the host Member State, as well as imposing obligations on the competent body in the Member State of establishment. The Council considers in its common position that the appropriate body to be informed is the competent authority in the host Member State, which should be aware that the service provider is providing a service on its territory; to require the service provider to inform both Member States and to impose further administrative tasks on the competent authority of the Member State of establishment (as the European Parliament has proposed) would be contrary to the aim of facilitating cross-border service provision. Moreover, the Council considers that the service provider should make a corresponding declaration only if the host Member State so requires, and that this declaration may be required only on the first occasion when the service provider moves to the host Member State to provide a service and thereafter once a year if he intends to provide such services in the host Member State in that year (Article 7(1) of the common position). The Council has also introduced the possibility for Member States to require that the declaration be accompanied by a limited number of documents (Article 7(2) and recital 7 of the common position). |

The Council has also introduced the possibility for Member States to require that the declaration be accompanied by a limited number of documents (Article 7(2) and recital 7 of the common position).

| 22. | The Council considers that the provision concerning the professional title under which temporary and occasional cross-border services are to be provided belongs in Article 7, rather than in Article 5(3) as proposed by the Commission. It therefore appears as Article 7(3) in the common position. Moreover, the Council has derogated in two specific cases from the general principle that such services should be provided under the professional title of the Member State of establishment: they are to be provided under the professional title of the host Member State in the cases set out in the last sentence of Article 7(3) and in the last subparagraph of Article 7(4) of the common position. |

| 23. | The Council has introduced the possibility for the professional qualifications of the provider of temporary or occasional cross-border services to be checked prior to the first provision of services in clearly-defined cases: in the case of regulated professions having public health or safety implications, which do not benefit from automatic recognition under Title III, Chapter III; only where the purpose of the check is to avoid serious damage to the health or safety of the service recipient due to a lack of professional qualification of the service provider and where this does not go beyond what is necessary for the purposes (Article 7(4) and recital 6 of the common position). |

| 24. | The Council has removed from the items which the host Member State may request from the Member State of establishment under Article 8, proof of the service provider's nationality and proof that he meets the requirement of Article 5(1)(b), as these are elements which the service provider himself may be required to provide under Article 7(2)(a) and (d) of the common position. On the other hand, in the interests of protecting the health and safety of the service recipient, the Council has added the possibility for the competent authorities of the host member State to ask its counterparts in the Member State of establishment to provide any information concerning the absence of any disciplinary or criminal sanctions of a professional nature (Article 8(1) of the common position). The Council has further added, for the same reason, a provision concerning the exchange of information in the context of a complaint against a service provider (Article 8(2) of the common position). |

| 25. | The Council considers that requiring Member States to oblige the service provider to furnish the service recipient with all the information set out in Article 9 in all cases would be imposing an unnecessary administrative burden both on Member States and on the service provider. Consequently, the Council has given Member States the option of requiring the service provider to furnish any or all of the items of information listed and has excluded from this option the cases where the service is provided under the professional title of the host Member State. The Council has deleted from the list as unnecessary the item relating to the professional rules applicable in the Member State of establishment (Article 9(e) of the Commision's proposal). It has added an item concerning insurance cover or other means of personal or collective protection with regard to professional liability (Article 9(f) of the common position), following part of the European Parliament's amendment 53. |

| 26. | The European Parliament has proposed a new Article 9a excluding the statutory audit of accounts from the scope of Title II (amendment 55). While accepting this amendment in principle, the Commission considers in its amended proposal that more general wording should be used to ensure that all professions governed by specific legislation and future legislative developments are covered. The Council agrees with the Commission that this amendment should be taken into account by using the wording ‘Without prejudice to specific provisions of Community law ...’ at the beginning of Article 5(1). |

Title III, Chapter I — Freedom of establishment — General system for the recognition of evidence of training

| 27. | Article 10 of the Commission's proposal extends the general system in a subsidiary manner to all cases which are not eligible for automatic recognition on the basis of professional experience or the coordination of minimum training conditions. The Council considers that this extension is too far-reaching; in its view, the general system should apply only to professions not covered by Chapters II and III of Title III, as well as to the particular cases listed in Article 10(a) to (g) of the common position in which the applicant, while belonging to a profession covered by those Chapters, does not satisfy, for specific and exceptional reasons, the conditions laid down in those Chapters. The cases listed cover situations currently covered by the Treaty as interpreted by the European Court of Justice and situations subject to specific solutions under existing Directives. The Council has adapted recital 10 of the Commission's proposal (recital 14 of the common position) accordingly. |

| 28. | Article 11 of the Commission's proposal provides for five levels of professional qualifications. The Council considers it more appropriate to keep the four levels provided for in the existing Directives, together with the bridging measure provided for in Article 13(3) of the common position, than to introduce a fifth level. The Council has therefore deleted Article 11(6) of the Commission's proposal and adapted other provisions accordingly. |

The Council agrees with the Commission in its amended proposal that the new paragraph 2a of Article 13 proposed by the European Parliament (amendment 62) is unnecessary in the light of Annex VII.

The Council also considers it unnecessary to make the additions proposed in amendments 63 and 8. However, the Council does consider it necessary to provide, with regard to qualifications acquired on the basis of franchised education, that, in cases of justified doubt, the host Member State is entitled to verify with the competent body of the Member State in which the qualification was awarded whether the part of the training received in an establishment in a different Member State has been formally certified by the educational establishment based in the Member State in which the qualification was awarded, whether the evidence of formal qualifications issued is the same as that which would have been awarded if the course had been followed entirely in the latter Member State, and whether the evidence of formal qualifications confers the same professional rights in the territory of the latter Member State. The Council considers that the appropriate place for this provision is Article 46 of the Commission proposal concerning documentation and information which may be required from competent authorities (Article 50(2) in the Council's common position). |

| 38. | The Council has found it necessary to make a number of clarifications to Article 15 and to the accompanying recital 9 (recital 13 in the Council's common position), which concern common platforms. First of all, the Council considers it appropriate to begin this Article with a more detailed definition of the term ‘common platforms’ than that proposed by the Commission (Article 15(1) of the common position). The Council considers that it would not be appropriate to make provision for common platforms which cover only a few Member States and that therefore, for a common platform to be eligible for consideration in the context of this Article, it must cover at least two thirds of the Member States of the European Union, including all the Member States which regulate the profession concerned. An indicative, non-exhaustive list of possible criteria to be included in a common platform has been added to the recital.
  The Council considers it necessary to make clearer the respective roles of professional associations, Member States and the Commission with regard to common platforms. To this end, the Council has made it clear that:

—

not only professional associations but also Member States may submit common platforms to the Commission (Article 15(2) of the common position),

—

this Article does not affect the competence of Member States to decide the professional qualifications required for the pursuit of professions in their territory as well as the contents and the organisation of their systems of education and professional training (Article 15(4) of the common position).

The Council has also added the requirement that professional associations which submit draft common platforms must be representative at national and European level (Article 15(2) and recital 13 of the common position). The Council has further added a clause for a review of this Article three years after the transposition date (Article 15(6) of the common position).

Many of the clarifications made by the Council in Article 15 concur with the substance of proposals made by the European Parliament in its amendments 68, 70, 12 and 185. On the other hand, the Council has not accepted the European Parliament's amendment 188 for the reasons given by the Commission in its amended proposal.

Title III, Chapter II — Recognition of professional experience

| 39. | The Commission proposed to simplify Article 4 and Annex A of Directive 1999/42/EC by reducing the number of categories of activities provided for from six to two (Articles 16 to 19 and Annex IV of the Commission proposal). The Council agrees with the desirability of reducing the number of categories of activities, but considers that the number should be reduced to three rather than two. Accordingly, the Council has split Article 17 of the Commission proposal into two separate Articles (Articles 17 and 18 of the common position) and has rearranged the two lists in Annex IV into three lists.
  The Council has accepted the European Parliament's proposal (amendment 207) to replace ‘five years’ by ‘six years’ in Article 17(1)(a), but only in respect of the activities covered by Article 17 of the common position; it has not accepted this change in respect of the activities covered by Article 18 of the common position, for the reasons given by the Commission in its amended proposal. The Council has also not accepted the part of European Parliament amendment 207 concerning a new subparagraph (da) in Article 17(1), for the reasons given by the Commission in its amended proposal. |

| 40. | In order to comply with Court of Justice case-law, which requires implementing powers conferred upon the Commission by the legislator to be sufficiently specific insofar as they must clearly specify the bounds of such powers, the Council has specified in Article 19 of the proposal (Article 20 of the common position) that the purpose of amendment by the ‘comitology’ procedure of the lists of activities in Annex IV must be that of ‘updating or clarifying the nomenclature, provided that this does not involve any change in the activities related to the individual categories’ (6). |

Title III, Chapter III — Recognition on the basis of coordination of minimum training conditions

| 41. | The Council has accepted the proposals by the European Parliament in its amendements 80, 88, 90, 93, 95, 97 and 161 to move the lists of knowledge and skills for the professions covered by Title III, Chapter III from Annex V, points 5.1.1, 5.2.1, 5.3.1, 5.4.1, 5.5.1 and 5.6.1 to the body of the Directive. Rather than create new Articles, the Council has incorporated these lists into Articles 22, 29, 32, 35, 36 and 40 of the proposal (Articles 24(3), 31(6), 34(3), 38(3), 40(3) and 44(3) of the common position). However, the Council has not accepted the European Parliament's proposal in its amendment 154 to delete from Article 20(5) (Article 21(6) of the common position) the possibility of updating these lists under the ‘comitology’ procedure, for the reasons given by the Commission in its amended proposal. For the sake of consistency, the Council has also moved the list of knowledge and skills for architects from Annex V, point 5.7.1 to Article 42 of the proposal (Article 46(1) of the common position). |

The Council has also accepted the European Parliament's amendments 96 and 162 which move the list of professional activities for midwives and pharmacists from Annex V, points 5.5.3 and 5.6.3 to Articles 38 and 41 of the proposal (Articles 42(2) and 45(2) of the common position).

| 43. | The Council has not accepted the European Parliament's amendments 153 and 128 which propose to add provisions concerning psychotherapists in Article 20 of the proposal and in a new point 5a of Annex V, for the reasons given by the Commission in its amended proposal. |

| 44. | The European Parliament has proposed in its amendment 75 that Article 20(6) of the proposal be amended to the effect that, where a Member State adopts provisions with regard to the issuing of evidence of formal qualifications in the area covered by Chapter III of Title III, that Member State should notify not only the Commission but also the other Member States. The Council accepts this amendment to the extent that qualifications relating to architects are concerned (Article 21(7) of the common position), but not in respect of the other professions covered by this Chapter, for the reasons given by the Commission in its amended proposal. The Council considers that this extension of the notification to the other Member States in respect of architects is justified by the different systems applicable to architects and to the other professions under the existing Directives.
  The Council has not accepted the European Parliament's amendment 77, which proposes a new paragraph 6a in Article 20, for the reasons given by the Commission in its amended proposal. However, in the light of the different system applicable to architects (see previous subparagraph), the Council notes that the Commission has indicated in the statement referred to in point 68 below that, if a Member State has serious doubts as to whether evidence of formal qualifications of architects meets the criteria laid down in the Directive, the Commission intends to bring the matter before the expert group referred to in the Commission's statement. |

| 45. | The European Parliament has proposed a number of amendments relating to part-time training for professions covered by Title III, Chapter III of the proposal (amendments 81, 86, 159, 160 and 94).

| 46. | The European Parliament has proposed in its amendment 101 that a provision similar to Article 22(3) of the Commission's proposal, concerning continuing education and training, be included in Article 40 in respect of pharmacists. The Council agrees with the view of the Commission in its amended proposal that such a provision should apply in respect of all professions covered by Title III, Chapter III. The Council has therefore introduced a single provision (Article 22(b) of the common position) to this effect, resulting in the deletion of Article 22(3) of the Commission's proposal. |

| 47. | The Council has added a number of provisions in Chapter III of Title III, as well as in the Annexes, which take account of the accession to the European Union of ten new Member States on 1 May 2004 and which are based on corresponding adaptations to the existing Directives made in the relevant Acts of Accession.

The Commission did not accept this amendment in its amended proposal. The Council has opted for a compromise solution, whereby new medical specialties may be included if they are common to at least two fifths of the Member States (Article 26, second subparagraph and recital 17 of the common position). This entails a redistribution of medical specialties between Annex V, point 5.1.4 (point 5.1.3 of the common position) and Annex VI, point 6.1.
  The Council considers it unnecessary to move the lists of established rights of specialised doctors from Annex VI, point 6.1 to Annex V, new point 5.1.4a, as proposed by the European Parliament on its amendments 158, 127, 132, 178/rev. 2, 133 and 215. |

Accordingly, the Council has considered it necessary to distinguish between basic dental training (Article 34 and Annex V, point 5.3.2 of the common position) and specialist dental training (Article 35 and Annex V, point 5.3.3 of the common position). This has resulted in the deletion of Annex VI, point 6.2 of the Commission proposal and of Article 34(3) and (4), which refer to that point of Annex VI. |
