COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 21December 1 988
ona general systemfor the recognition ofhigher-education diplomas
awarded on completion of professional education and training of at
least three years' duration
(89/48/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community, and in particular Articles 49, 57 (1) and 66 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas, pursuant to Article 3 (c) of the Treaty the abolition, as between
Member States, of obstacles to freedom of movement for persons andservices constitutes one of the objectives of the Community; whereas,
for nationals of the Member States, this means in particular the
possibility of pursuing a profession, whether in a self-employed oremployed capacity, in a Member State other than that in which theyacquired their professional qualifications;
Whereas the provisions so far adopted by the Council, and pursuant to
which Member States recognize mutually and for professional purposeshigher-education diplomas issued within their territory, concern only a
few professions; whereas the level and duration of the education and
training governing access to those professions have been regulated in asimilar fashion in all the Member States or have been the subject of theminimal harmonization needed to establish sectoral systems for themutual recognition of diplomas;
Whereas, in order to provide a rapid response to the expectations of
nationals of Community countries who hold higher-education diplomas
awarded on completion of professional education and training issued in
a Member State other than that in which they wish to pursue theirprofession, another method of recognition of such diplomas should alsobe put in place such as to enable those concerned to pursue all thoseprofessional activities which in a host Member State are dependent on
the completion of post-secondary education and training, provided they
hold such a diploma preparing them for those activities awarded oncompletion of a course of studies lasting at least three years and issuedin another Member State;
Whereas this objective can be achieved by the introduction of a general
system for the recognition of higher-education diplomas awarded oncompletion of professional education and training of at least three years'
duration;
Whereas, for those professions for the pursuit of which the Community
has not laid down the necessary minimum level of qualification,
Member States reserve the option of fixing such a level with a view toguaranteeing the quality of services provided in their territory; whereas,however, they may not, without infringing their obligations laid down inArticle 5 of the Treaty, require a national of a Member State to obtain
those qualifications which in general they determine only by reference to
diplomas issued under their own national education systems, where theperson concerned has already acquired all or part of those qualificationsin another Member State; whereas, as a result, any host Member State inwhich a profession is regulated is required to take account ofqualifications acquired in another Member State and to determine1989L0048 — EN — 31.07.2001 — 001.001 — 2

OJ No C 143, 10. 6. 1986, p. 7.

OJ No C 309, 5. 12. 1988.
(3) OJ No C 75, 3. 4. 1986, p. 5.
▼B
whether those qualifications correspond to the qualifications which the
Member State concerned requires;
Whereas collaboration between the Member States is appropriate in
order to facilitate their compliance with those obligations; whereas,
therefore, the means of organizing such collaboration should beestablished;
Whereas the term ‘regulated professional activity’ should be defined so
as to take account of differing national sociological situations; whereas
the term should cover not only professional activities access to which is
subject, in a Member State, to the possession of a diploma, but alsoprofessional activities, access to which is unrestricted when they arepractised under a professional title reserved for the holders of certainqualifications; whereas the professional associations and organizationswhich confer such titles on their members and are recognized by the
public authorities cannot invoke their private status to avoid application
of the system provided for by this Directive;
Whereas it is also necessary to determine the characterstics of the
professional experience or adaptation period which the host MemberState may require of the person concerned in addition to the higher-education diploma, where the person's qualifications do not correspond
to those laid down by national provisions;
Whereas an aptitude test may also be introduced in place of the
adaptation period; whereas the effect of both will be to improve theexisting situation with regard to the mutual recognition of diplomasbetween Member States and therefore to facilitate the free movement ofpersons within the Community; whereas their function is to assess the
ability of the migrant, who is a person who has already received his
professional training in another Member State, to adapt to this newprofessional environment; whereas, from the migrant's point of view, anaptitude test will have the advantage of reducing the length of thepractice period; whereas, in principle, the choice between the adaptation
period and the aptitude test should be made by the migrant; whereas,
however, the nature of certain professions is such that Member Statesmust be allowed to prescribe, under certain conditions, either theadaptation period or the test; whereas, in particular, the differencesbetween the legal systems of the Member States, whilst they may vary inextent from one Member State to another, warrant special provisions
since, as a rule, the education or training attested by the diploma,
certificate or other evidence of formal qualifications in a field of law inthe Member State of origin does not cover the legal knowledge requiredin the host Member State with respect to the corresponding legal field;
Whereas, moreover, the general system for the recognition of higher-
education diplomas is intended neither to amend the rules, including
those relating to professional ethics, applicable to any person pursuing aprofession in the territory of a Member State nor to exclude migrantsfrom the application of those rules; whereas that system is confined tolaying down appropriate arrangements to ensure that migrants complywith the professional rules of the host Member State;
Whereas Articles 49, 57 (1) and 66 of the Treaty empower the
Community to adopt provisions necessary for the introduction andoperation of such a system;
Whereas the general system for the recognition of higher-education
diplomas is entirely without prejudice to the application of Article 48 (4)and Article 55 of the Treaty;
Whereas such a system, by strengthening the right of a Community
national to use his professional skills in any Member State, supplementsand reinforces his right to acquire such skills wherever he wishes;
Whereas this system should be evaluated, after being in force for a
certain time, to determine how efficiently it operates and in particularhow it can be improved or its field of application extended,1989L0048 — EN — 31.07.2001 — 001.001 — 3

Article 3
Where, in a host Member State, the taking up or pursuit of a regulated
profession is subject to possession of a diploma, the competent authoritymay not, on the grounds of inadequate qualifications, refuse to authorizea national of a Member State to take up or pursue that profession on thesame conditions as apply to its own nationals:
(a) if the applicant holds the diploma required in another Member State
for the taking up or pursuit of the profession in question in its
territory, such diploma having been awarded in a Member State; or
(b) if the applicant has pursued the profession in question full-time for
two years during the previous ten years in another Member Statewhich does not regulate that profession, within the meaning of
Article 1 (c) and the first subparagraph of Article 1 (d), and
possesses evidence of one or more formal qualifications:
— which have been awarded by a competent authority in a Member

However, the two years' of professional experience referred to in the
first subparagraph may not be required where the qualification or
qualifications held by the applicant and referred to in this point wereawarded on completion of regulated education and training.
The following shall be trated in the same way as the evidence of formal

other Member States and the Commission have been notified of this
recognition.
Article 4
1. Notwithstanding Article 3, the host Member State may also require
the applicant:
(a) to provide evidence of professional experience, where the duration
of the education and training adduced in support of his application,as laid down in Article 3 (a) and (b), is at least one year less thanthat required in the host Member State. In this event, the period ofprofessional experience required:
— may not exceed twice the shortfall in duration of education and
training where the shortfall relates to post-secondary studies and/or to a period of probationary practice carried out under thecontrol of a supervising professional person and ending with anexamination,1989L0048 — EN — 31.07.2001 — 001.001 — 6
▼M1
▼B
▼B
— may not exceed the shortfall where the shortfall relates to
professional practice acquired with the assistance of a qualifiedmember of the profession.
In the case of diplomas within the meaning of the last subparagraph
of Article 1 (a), the duration of education and training recognized as
being of an equivalent level shall be determined as for the educationand training defined in the first subparagraph of Article 1 (a).
When applying these provisions, account must be taken of the
professional experience referred to in Article 3 (b).
At all events, the professional experience required may not exceed
four years;
(b) to complete an adaptation period not exceeding three years or take
an aptitude test:
— where the matters covered by the education and training he has
received as laid down in Article 3 (a) and (b), differ substantiallyfrom those covered by the diploma required in the host MemberState, or
— where, in the case referred to in Article 3 (a), the profession
regulated in the host Member State comprises one or moreregulated professional activities which are not in the professionregulated in the Member State from which the applicantoriginates or comes and that difference corresponds to specificeducation and training required in the host Member State and
covers matters which differ substantially from those covered by
the diploma adduced by the applicant, or
— where, in the case referred to in Article 3 (b), the profession
regulated in the host Member State comprises one or moreregulated professional activities which are not in the profession
pursued by the applicant in the Member State from which he
originates or comes, and that difference corresponds to specificeducation and training required in the host Member State andcovers matters which differ substantially from those covered bythe evidence of formal qualifications adduced by the applicant.
If the host Member State intends to require the applicant to complete
an adaptation period or take an aptitude test, it must first examinewhether the knowledge acquired by the applicant in the course of hisprofessional experience is such that it fully or partly covers thesubstantial difference referred to in the first subparagraph.
Should the host Member State make use of this possibility, it must give
the applicant the right to choose between an adaptation period and an
aptitude test. By way of derogation from this principle, for professionswhose practice requires precise knowledge of national law and in respectof which the provision of advice and/or assistance concerning nationallaw is an essential and constant aspect of the professional activity, thehost Member State may stipulate either an adaptation period or an
aptitude test. Where the host Member State intends to introduce
derogations for other professions as regards an applicant's right tochoose, the procedure laid down in Article 10 shall apply.
2. However, the host Member State may not apply the provisions of
paragraph 1 (a) and (b) cumulatively.
Article 5
Without prejudice to Articles 3 and 4, a host Member State may allow
the applicant, with a view to improving his possibilities of adapting to
the professional environment in that State, to undergo there, on the basisof equivalence, that part of his professional education and trainingrepresented by professional practice, acquired with the assistance of aqualified member of the profession, which he has not undergone in hisMember State of origin or the Member State from which he has come.1989L0048 — EN — 31.07.2001 — 001.001 — 7

persons wishing to take up a regulated profession proof that they are ofgood character or repute or that they have not been declared bankrupt, orsuspends or prohibits the pursuit of that profession in the event ofserious professional misconduct or a criminal offence, that State shall
accept as sufficient evidence, in respect of nationals of Member States
wishing to pursue that profession in its territory, the production ofdocuments issued by competent authorities in the Member State oforigin or the Member State from which the foreign national comesshowing that those requirements are met.
Where the competent authorities of the Member State of origin or of the
Member State from which the foreign national comes do not issue thedocuments referred to in the first subparagraph, such documents shall bereplaced by a declaration on oath — or, in States where there is no
provision for declaration on oath, by a solemn declaration — made by

from which the foreign national comes.
Where the Member State of origin or the Member State from which the

concerned.
5. Where proof of financial standing is required in order to take up or
pursue a regulated profession in the host Member State, that MemberState shall regard certificates issued by banks in the Member State of
origin or in the Member State from where the foreign national comes as
equivalent to those issued in its own territory.
6. Where the competent authority of the host Member State requires
of its own nationals wishing to take up or pursue a regulated profession
proof that they are insured against the financial risks arising from their
professional liability, that Member State shall accept certificates issuedby insurance undertakings of other Member States as equivalent to thoseissued in its own territory.
