WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1433/97 by Konstantinos HATZIDAKIS to the Commission. Greek Government's draft law on the exercise of the profession of accountant, tax consultant, etc.  


Official Journal C 060 , 25/02/1998 P. 0019 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-1433/97 by Konstantinos Hatzidakis (PPE) to the Commission (18 April 1997)Subject: Greek Government's draft law on the exercise of the profession of accountant, tax consultant, etc.The draft law entitled 'Exercise of the profession of accountant, tax consultant, functioning of Institute of Chartered Surveyors and other provisions', recently announced by the Greek Government, provides inter alia that accountancy graduates from Technical Education Institutes (TEI) are demoted to 2nd class accountants, which hinders their professional development even though they chose to study in a department of Greek higher-education that was specifically for accounting. The draft law further provides that graduates of other educational institutions will be able to practice accountancy as 1st class accountants, even if they have not studied in fields with such relevant subject-matter and therefore have little or no knowledge of accountancy.The proposed arrangement is in direct breach of Greek Presidential Decrees 349/89 and 186/92, which safeguard the professional rights of the graduates concerned. More importantly, however, the measure breaches the spirit of Community Directive 89/48 ((OJ L 19, 24.1.1989, p. 16. )) establishing the unhindered professional development of higher-education graduates. The Court of Justice (judgment delivered by the Third Chamber on 23 March 1995 in Case C-365/93) has, incidentally, already found against Greece for failing to safeguard the professional rights in question. What view does the Commission take of this issue, and what steps will it take to ensure Greece's full compliance with Community law in this particular matter?Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (20 May 1997)The draft law referred to by the Honourable Member does not infringe Directive 89/48/EEC, under which the task of regulating the professions, and in particular the conditions of access to them, by laying down qualification requirements is a matter for the Member States.The judgment delivered by the Court of Justice in Case C-365/93 concerns the failure to transpose the Directive and not the safeguarding of professional rights mentioned by the Honourable Member. The Commission has decided to issue a reasoned opinion for failure to comply with the Court's judgment.
