24 March 2000, the Commission adopted a Communi-

individual Member State. Further to the Communication

(9) In order to promote the free movement of workers,
freedom of establishment and the free provision of
services, while ensuring an adequate level of qualification,
various professional associations and organisations have
established common platforms at European level under
which professionals meeting
criteria
relating to professional qualifications are awarded the
right
title awarded by those
associations or organisations. The Directive should take
account, under certain conditions 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

(15) All Member States must recognise the profession of dental
practitioner as a specific profession distinct from that of
medical practitioner, whether or not specialised in odon-
tostomatology. The Member States must 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 must be carried out by holders
of a qualification as dental practitioner set out in this
Directive.

(16) It did not appear desirable to lay down standardised
training for midwives for all the Member States. Rather,
the latter should have the greatest possible freedom to
organise their training.

be made to the concept of ‘pharmacist’ in order to delimit
the provisions relating to the automatic

the special features of the national regulations governing

this field. In defining this minimum range, this Directive

hold qualifications which are covered by automatic recog-

(19) This Directive does not coordinate all the conditions for
access to activities in the field of pharmacy and the
exercise of these activities. In particular, the geographical
for
distribution of pharmacies
dispensing medicines remain a matter for the Member
States. This Directive leaves unchanged the legislative,
regulatory and administrative provisions of the Member
States forbidding companies from exercising certain phar-
macist's activities or subjecting them to certain conditions.

(21) National regulations in the field of architecture and on
access to and the exercise of the professional activities

States, activities in the field of architecture are exercised,
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 exercise of such
activities, unless there are legislative provisions to the
contrary. These activities, or some of them, may also be
exercised 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’

(24) Administering the various systems of recognition set up
by the sectoral directives and the general system has
proved cumbersome and complex. 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 must be set up
for this purpose.

(25) Pursuant to Article 2 of Council Decision 1999/468/EC of
28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise
of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (1),
the measures needed to implement this Directive should
be adopted according to the procedure laid down in
Article 5 of that Decision.

(26) The preparation by the Member States of a periodic
report on the implementation of this Directive, containing
statistical data, will make it possible to determine the
impact of the system for the recognition of professional
qualifications.

(27) There should be a suitable procedure for adopting
temporary measures if the application of any provision
of this Directive were to encounter major difficulties in
a Member State.

(28) The provisions of this Directive do not affect the powers
of the Member States as regards the organisation of their
security system and determining the
national
activities which must be exercised under that system.

(29) In view of the speed of technological change and scientific
progress, life-long learning is of particular importance for
a large number of professions. In this context, it is for the
Member States to adopt the detailed arrangements under
which,
through suitable ongoing training, professionals
will keep abreast of technical and scientific progress.

(30) In accordance with the principles of subsidiarity and
proportionality set out in Article 5 of the Treaty, the
objectives of the proposed measure, that is the rational-
isation, 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 by the Community. This

to achieve those objectives and does not go
beyond what is necessary for that purpose.

TITLE I

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Article 1

Purpose

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

Article 2

Scope

This Directive shall apply to all nationals of a Member
1.
State wishing to practise a regulated profession in a Member
State other than that in which they obtained their professional
qualifications, on either a self-employed or employed basis.

2.
Each Member State may permit persons in possession of
evidence of formal qualifications not obtained in a Member
State to perform regulated professional activities on its
territory, in accordance with its rules. In the case of professions
covered by Title III, Chapter III, this initial recognition must
respect the minimum training conditions laid down in that
Chapter.

Article 3

Definitions

For the purposes of this Directive, the following terms are

1.
defined as follows:

(a) regulated profession: a professional activity or group of
the practice of
professional activities, access to which,
which, or one of the modes of pursuit is subject, directly
or indirectly,
to legislative, regulatory or administrative
provisions concerning possession of specific professional
qualifications;

(b) professional

(c) evidence of formal qualifications: diplomas, certificates and
other evidence issued by an authority in a Member State
and certifying successful completion of professional training
obtained mainly in the Community.

(b) where the service provider moves, if he has practised that
activity for at
two years in the Member State of
establishment when the profession is not regulated in
that Member State.

A profession practised by the members of an association
is treated as a regulated

profession.

On each occasion that a Member State grants recognition to an
association or organisation referred to in the first paragraph, it
shall inform the Commission, which shall issue an appropriate
notification in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Evidence of

3.
training issued by a non-member
country shall be regarded as evidence of formal qualifications
if the holder has three years' professional experience, certified
by the Member State which recognised that evidence of formal
qualifications in accordance with Article 2(2).

Article 4

Effects of recognition

The recognition of professional qualifications by the host
1.
Member State allows the beneficiary to gain access in that
Member State to the same profession to that for which he is
qualified in the home Member State and to practise it in the
host Member State with the same rights as its nationals.

For the purposes of

2.
this Directive, where the service
provider moves to the territory of the host Member State,
the pursuit of a professional activity for a period of not
more than sixteen weeks per year in a Member State by a
professional established in another Member State shall be
presumed to constitute a ‘provision of services’.

The presumption referred to in the previous paragraph shall
not preclude assessment on a case-by-case basis, for example,
in the light of the duration of the provision,
its frequency,
regularity and continuity.

3.
The service shall be provided under the professional title
of the Member State in which the service provider is legally
established, 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
qualification of the host Member State.

Article 6

Exemptions

2.
For the purposes of this Directive, the profession which
the applicant wishes to pursue in the host Member State is the
same as that for which he is qualified in his home Member
State if the activities covered are similar.

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:

3. Where the profession for which the applicant is qualified
in the home Member State constitutes an autonomous activity
a profession covering a wider field of activities in the host
Member State and where the difference cannot be made up
by a compensatory measure referred to in Article 14,
the
recognition of the applicant's qualifications gives him access
to that activity alone in the host Member State.

(a) authorisation by, registration with or membership of a

professional organisation or body;

(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.

TITLE II

FREE MOVEMENT OF SERVICES

Article 5

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

Principle of the free provision of services

1. Without prejudice to Article 6(2), Member States shall
not restrict,
for any reason relating to professional qualifi-
cations, 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 practising the same professional
activity there, and

Article 7

Information to be provided in advance if the service
provider moves

Where the service provider moves in order to provide services,
he shall, in advance, inform the contact point of the Member
State of establishment, referred to in Article 53.
In urgent
cases, the service provider shall inform the contact point of
that Member State as soon as possible after the services have
been provided.

FREEDOM OF ESTABLISHMENT

The competent authorities of the host Member State may ask
the competent authorities of the Member State of establishment
to provide proof of the service provider's nationality and proof
that he is legally practising the activities in question in that
Member State. The competent authorities of the Member State
of establishment shall provide this information in accordance
with the provisions of Article 52.

Furthermore,
in the cases referred to in Article 5.1(b), the
competent authorities of the host Member State may ask the
contact point of the Member State of establishment, referred to
in Article 53, to provide proof that the service provider has
practised the activities in question in the Member State of
establishment for at least two years. Such proof may take
any form.

Article 9

Information to be given to the recipients of the service

In addition to the other requirements relating to information
contained in Community law, the Member States shall ensure
that the service provider furnishes the recipient of the services
with the following information:

(a)

if the service provider is registered in a commercial register
or similar public register, the commercial register in which
he is registered, his registration number, or equivalent
means of identification contained in that register;

CHAPTER I

GENERAL SYSTEM FOR THE RECOGNITION OF EVIDENCE OF
TRAINING

Article 10

Scope

This Chapter applies to all professions which are not covered
by Chapters II and III of this Title and to all cases in which the
applicant does not satisfy the conditions laid down in those
Chapters.

Article 11

Levels of qualification

For the purpose of applying Article 13, the following five

1.
levels of professional qualification are established:

(a)

level 1, ‘attestation of competence’;

(b) level 2, ‘certificate’;

(c)

level 3, ‘diploma certifying successful completion of a short
training course’;

(d) level 4,

‘diploma certifying successful completion of an

intermediate training course’;

(e)

level 5,
higher training course’.

‘diploma certifying successful completion of a

2.

Level 1 corresponds to:

(a) an attestation of competence issued by a competent
authority in the home Member State on the basis of a
very short training course, a specific examination without
prior training or full-time practice of the profession in a
Member State for
for an
equivalent duration on a part-time basis during the
previous 10 years;

three consecutive years or

(b) general primary or secondary education, attesting that the

holder has acquired general knowledge.

3.
Level 2 corresponds to training at secondary level, of a
professional nature or general in character, supplemented by a
professional course.

Level 3 corresponds to training at post-secondary level
4.
and of a duration of at least one year and less than three years.

The following shall be treated as level-3 training courses:

(a) training courses with a special structure which provide a
comparable professional standard and which prepare the
trainee for a comparable level of
responsibilities and
functions. The courses listed in Annex II are specific
examples;

30.7.2002

(b) regulated training which is specifically directed to the
practice of a particular profession and which consists of
a course of education supplemented, where appropriate, by
professional training, probationary or professional practice,
for which the structure and level are laid down in the
legislative, regulatory or administrative provisions of the
Member State in question, or which are subject
to
control or approval by the authority designated for that
purpose. The regulated training courses listed in Annex
III are specific examples.

5.
Level 4 corresponds to a course of training at higher or
university level and of a duration of at least three years and less
than four years.

The following shall be treated as level-4 training: Regulated

Basic medical training shall comprise a total of at least six
years of study or 5 500 hours of theoretical and practical
training provided by, or under the supervision of, a university.

For persons who began their studies before 1 January 1972,
the course of training referred to in paragraph 1 may comprise
six months of full-time practical training at university level

does not reduce the total duration of the training;

(b) the weekly duration of part-time training is not less than

half of the weekly duration of full-time training;

(c) part-time training includes a certain number of periods of
full-time training, both for the part given in a hospital
environment and the part given in an approved general

these periods of
full-time training must be such as to
