(2000/C 119/01)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE
EUROPEAN UNION,

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

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

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

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

Whereas:

(2) OJ C 235, 27.7.1998, p. 53.

20.7.1998, p. 26), Council Common Position of 20.3.2000 and
Decision of the European Parliament of ... (not yet published in
the Official Journal).

(1) On 16 February 1996 the Commission gave the European
Parliament and the Council its report on the state of
application of the general system for the recognition of
higher-education diplomas made in accordance with
Article 13 of Council Directive 89/48/EEC of 21 Decemb-
er 1988 on a general system for the recognition of
higher-education diplomas awarded on completion of
professional education and training of at least three years’
duration (4); in this report the Commission undertook to
examine the possibility of incorporating into that Direc-
tive the obligation to take into consideration, when
examining applications for recognition, experience gained
following the award of the qualification in question,
the possibility of introducing the concept of ‘regulated
education and training’; the Commission also undertook
to examine the arrangements whereby the role of the
Coordinating Group set up by Article 9(2) of Directive
89/48/EEC could be developed in order to ensure more
uniform application and interpretation of the Directive.

(2) The concept of regulated education and training, intro-
duced by Council Directive 92/51/EEC of 18 June 1992
on a second general system for the recognition of
professional education and training to supplement Direc-
tive 89/48/EEC (1)
(both Directives being hereinafter
referred to as the ‘general system Directives’) should be
extended to the initial general system and should be based
on the same principles by applying to it the same rules; it
should be left to the individual Member States to choose
the means of defining professions covered by regulated
education and training.

(3) The general system Directives permit the host Member
State to require, subject to certain conditions, the appli-
cant to take compensation steps, notably where substan-
tial differences exist between the theoretical and/or
practical education and training undergone and that
covered by the qualification required in the host Member
State; under Articles 39 and 43 of the Treaty, as interpret-
ed by the Court of Justice of the European Communities (2)
the host Member State must assess whether professional
experience is sufficient in order to prove possession of
the knowledge which is lacking; in the interests of clarity
and legal certainty for individuals wishing to practise
their profession in another Member State, it is desirable
to incorporate into the general system Directives the
requirement that the host Member State has to examine
whether the professional experience gained by the appli-
cant since obtaining his qualification(s) covers the subjects
referred to above.

(4) The coordination procedure provided for by the general
system Directives should be improved and simplified by
enabling the Coordinating Group to adopt and publish
opinions on questions referred to it by the Commission
that relate to the practical application of the general
system.

(5)

In its communication to the European Parliament and
the Council on the SLIM initiative, the Commission
undertook to present proposals aimed at simplifying the
updating of the lists of qualifications eligible for automatic
recognition; Council Directive 93/16/EEC of 5 April 1993
to facilitate the free movement of doctors and the mutual
recognition of
their diplomas, certificates and other
evidence of formal qualifications (3) provides for a simple
procedure in the case of general practitioners’ qualifi-
cations; experience has shown that the procedure affords

mission Directive 97/38/EC (OJ L 184, 12.7.1997, p. 31).

sufficient legal certainty; it is desirable to extend it to
qualifications held by nurses responsible for general
care, dental practitioners, veterinary surgeons, midwives,
pharmacists and doctors as referred to in Council Direc-
tives 77/452/EEC (4), 77/453/EEC (5), 78/686/EEC (6),
78/1027/EEC (9),

85/433/EEC (13) and 93/16/EEC (hereinafter referred to as
the ‘sectoral Directives’) respectively.

(6) According to the case-law of the Court of Justice of the
European Communities, Member States are not required
to recognise diplomas, certificates and other evidence of
formal qualifications which do not testify to training
acquired in one of the Member States of the Com-
munity (14); however, Member States should take into
account professional experience gained by the person
concerned in another Member State (15); that being so, it
should be stipulated in the sectoral Directives that
recognition by a Member State of a diploma, certificate
or other evidence of formal qualification awarded to a
nurse responsible for general care, dental practitioner,
veterinary surgeon, midwife, architect, pharmacist or
doctor on completion of education and training in a third
country and professional experience gained by the person
concerned in a Member State constitute Community
elements which the other Member States should examine.

(7) The period within which Member States are to reach a
decision on applications for recognition of diplomas,
certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications
obtained by nurses responsible for general care, dental
practitioners, veterinary surgeons, midwives, architects,
pharmacists or doctors in a third country should be
stipulated.

(8) The applicant must have right of appeal under national
law if his application is rejected or if a decision is not
reached within the stipulated period; Member States are
to state their reasons for such decisions taken regarding
the recognition of diplomas, certificates and other evi-
dence of formal qualifications held by the nurses respon-
sible for general care, dental practitioners, veterinary
surgeons, midwives, architects, pharmacists or doctors;
where a Member State decides to recognise a diploma,
certificate or other evidence of formal qualifications, it
should be free to choose whether or not to state the
reasons.

(9)

For reasons of fairness, transitional measures should be
taken in respect of certain dental practitioners in Italy
who hold diplomas, certificates or other evidence of
formal qualifications in medicine awarded in Italy but on
completion of medical training begun after the deadline
stipulated in Article 19 of Directive 78/686/EEC.

(10) Article 15 of Directive 85/384/EEC (1) provides for a
derogation during a transitional period that has now
expired; that provision should be deleted.

(11) There should be a clear distinction in Article 24 of
Directive 85/384/EEC between the formalities to be
completed in the case of establishment and those to be
completed in the case of provision of services, thereby

rendering more effective the exercise of the freedom to
provide services as an architect.

(12) According to the case-law of the Court of Justice of
the European Communities (2), for reasons of fairness,
transitional measures should be applied in Italy in respect
of certain holders of diplomas, certificates and other
evidence of formal qualifications in pharmacy awarded,
on completion of training that does not fully comply
with Directive 85/432/EEC.

(13) It is desirable to extend the scope of mutual recognition
of diplomas, certificates or other evidence of formal
qualifications in pharmacy in order to facilitate effective
exercise of the right of establishment between Greece
and the other Member States; therefore, the derogation
provided for in Article 3 of Directive 85/433/EEC should
be deleted.

(14) In its report on specific training in general medical
practice provided for by Title IV of Directive 93/16/EEC,
the Commission recommended that the requirements
applying to part-time training in general medical practice
should be brought into line with those applying to other
medical specialisms.

(15) The general system Directives and the sectoral Directives,

should be amended,

STATEMENT OF THE COUNCIL’S REASONS

I.

INTRODUCTION

1. On 3 December 1997, the Commission submitted to the Council, a proposal for a Directive
amending Directives 89/48/EEC (1) and 92/51/EEC (2) on the general system for the recognition of
professional qualifications and supplementing Directives 77/452/EEC, 77/453/EEC, 78/686/EEC,
78/687/EEC, 78/1026/EEC, 78/1027/EEC, 80/154/EEC, 80/155/EEC, 85/384/EEC, 85/432/EEC,
85/433/EEC and 93/16/EEC concerning the professions of nurse responsible for general care,
dental practitioner, veterinary surgeon, midwife, architect, pharmacist and doctor.

This proposal is based on Articles 40 and 47(1), the first and third sentences of Article 47(2) and
Article 55.

2. The European Parliament adopted its first reading opinion at its sitting on 1 and 2 July 1998.

The Economic and Social Committee delivered its opinion on 27 May 1998.

The Commission decided not to submit an amended proposal.

3. The Council adopted its common position on 20 March 2000, in accordance with Article 251 of

the Treaty.

II. OBJECTIVES

The proposed Directive incorporates into the general system the legal requirement to take into
account, when examining an application for recognition, experience gained after obtaining the
qualification in question. It introduces the concept of regulated education and training contained in
the second general system Directive and is designed to achieve more uniform application and
interpretation of the two general system Directives in the Member States.

As regards the sectoral Directives, it will (among other things) facilitate efficient updating of the
technical provisions concerning the titles of qualifications eligible for automatic recognition in the
Member States. It will also help to ensure legal certainty as regards the examination of education and
training undergone in third countries by Community nationals.

III. THE COMMON POSITION

1. General remarks

The Council’s common position follows the objectives set out in the Commission’s proposals, as
indicated in Section II. The Council has nevertheless introduced a number of
technical
modifications in the proposal, in particular with the aim of reinforcing the free movement of
persons.

The Council has adopted the common position by u n a n i m i t y .

(1) Hereinafter the ‘first general system Directive’.
(2) Hereinafter the ‘second general system Directive’.

C 119/52

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

27.4.2000

The Council has not been in a position to accept the amendments proposed by the European
Parliament in the first reading. It should be taken into account that the Commission did not
accept the amendments either.

2. Specific remarks

The modifications introduced in the Commission’s proposal are summarised below.

(i) More specific description of ‘course of study’ in the framework of the definition of ‘regulated education

and training’ (Article 1(1), second indent)

For the sake of consistency within the first general system Directive, the concept ‘course of
study’ used in the Commission’s proposal has been replaced with a definition taken from
Article 1(a), second indent of the first general system Directive. In particular, it has been
made clear that the duration of the study must be at least three years.

(ii) Mutual recognition of proof of financial standing and of insurance cover (Articles 1(4) and 2(4))

These provisions extend to the two general system Directives the provisions contained in
certain ‘transitional measures’ Directives regarding mutual recognition of proof of financial
standing and of insurance cover against the financial consequences of professional liability.

(iii) Substantial difference to be covered by experience also at certificate level (Article 2(2) and (3))

The provision contained in Article 2(1) for the diploma level has been extended to cover
recognition of c e r t i f i c a t e level. Therefore, the knowledge acquired by the applicant in
the course of his professional experience can cover the substantial difference between his
certificate and the diploma required by the host Member State.

(iv) Direct effect of amendments to Annexes C and D (Article 2(6))

In order to avoid lengthy implementation procedures in Member States, Article 2(6) sets out
an immediate application of any amendments made by the Commission to Annexes C and
D of the second general system Directive.

(v)

Insertion of Articles 3 to 6 of the Commission’s proposal in the sectoral Directives (Articles 3(4),
5(9), 7(4), 9(5), 11(1), 13(5) and 14(12))

For reasons of legal certainty, the contents of Articles 3 to 6 of the Commission’s proposal
have been incorporated into each one of the sectoral Directives. This change is purely
technical.

(vi) Examination of third-country diplomas (former Article 5 of the Commission’s proposal, now

integrated in Articles 3 (4), 5 (9), 7 (4), 9 (5), 11 (1), 13 (5) and 14 (12))

For a better protection of the holder of a third-country diploma, the Council has decided to
replace the words ‘Member States shall take account of diplomas’ with ‘Member States shall
e x a m i n e the diplomas...’. This implies a more active implication of the host Member
State. Moreover, the examination deadline has been reduced from four to t h r e e months.

27.4.2000

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

C 119/53

(vii) No need to state the reasons of a positive decision on the recognition of a diploma (last sentence of
recital 8,to be read in conjunction with Articles 3(4), 5(9), 7(4), 9(5), 11(1), 13(5) and 14(12)
(former Article 6 of the Commission’s proposal))

In order to provide for a faster recognition procedure, Member States will not be obliged to
justify positive decisions recognising diplomas.

(viii) Inclusion of certain Spanish specialised doctors (‘Mestos’) in the scope of Directive 93/16/EEC

(Article 14 (8))

This provision aims at taking into account the specific situation of certain Spanish specialist
doctors without official qualifications who received an unofficial form of training which
was nevertheless similar in quantity and quality to that obtained by those who followed the
official residence-based system.

(ix) Revision clause (Article 15)

The Council has included a revision clause concerning Article 1(2) and (2), which incorporate
the concept of ‘regulated education and training’ into the first general system Directive.

IV. EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT’S AMENDMENTS

The Council felt that amendments 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11, which were designed to oblige Member
States to inform the Commission if they intended to impose compensation measures in each of the
sectors, were not consistent with the SLIM initiative, as they would lengthen the recognition
procedures and, therefore, be detrimental to migrants. These amendments would not be consistent
with the general system either, as the latter foresees a case-by-case treatment of applications for
recognition.

Amendments 5 and 10, which were designed to ensure that the Coordinator Group’s deliberations
were widely publicised, are not in line with SLIM. Indeed, the publicity proposed in these amendments
would lengthen the Commission’s works and would endanger the quality of the debates, which are
mainly technical. In any case, the f i n a l result of the works of the Group is published in the Code of
Conduct.

Amendment 12, which would lengthen the procedure proposed by the Commission for updating
lists of qualifications and delay its application, does not follow the principles in SLIM and could create
some legal uncertainty.

Amendments 3 and 13 are designed to introduce automatic recognition of qualifications obtained
in a third country if the qualifications are already recognised by the first host Member State. The
Council considered it wiser to defer examination of this issue until the Commission’s report, due in
2000, on the general system for the recognition of qualifications had been published. The same was
true of amendments 15 to 21, which concerned general practitioners.

Amendments 2 and 14 related to the Directive on architects. The rapporteur specified that
amendment 14 would bring all Irish architects within the scope of the Directive, which was not
currently the case. As this matter is currently under review in the Commission, the Council preferred
to await the completion of the Commission’s works.

V. CONCLUSION

The Council considers that all the modifications made to the Commission proposal meet the
objectives of the proposed Directive, in particular the simplification objective of the SLIM initiative
and the facilitation of free movement.
