Pursuant to Article 3(1)(c) of the Treaty, the abolition, as
between Member States, of obstacles to the free move-
ment 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.

Following the European Council of Lisbon on 23 and 24
March 2000, the Commission adopted a Communica-
tion 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 Euro-
pean Council specific proposals for a more uniform,
transparent and flexible regime of recognition of qualifi-
cations.

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 condi-
tions of pursuit which might be laid down by the latter
Member State, provided that these are objectively justi-
fied and proportionate.

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

the movement of

Directive 1999/42/EC of the European Parliament and of
the Council (3) on the general system for the recognition
of professional qualifications, and Council Directives
78/686/EEC (6),
77/453/EEC (5),
77/452/EEC (4),
78/1027/EEC (9),
78/1026/EEC (8),

80/155/EEC (11),
85/432/EEC (13), 85/433/EEC (14)
and 93/16/EEC (15)
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.

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.

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.

(10)

(11)

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 qualifica-
tions, 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
and safeguards underlying the different
principles
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 reorga-
nised and rationalised by standardising the principles
applicable. It is therefore necessary to replace Council
Directives 89/48/EEC (1) and 92/51/EEC (2), as well as

rules,

the professional qualifications

This Directive does not create an obstacle to the possibi-
in accordance with
lity of Member States recognising,

country nationals. All recognition should respect in any
case minimum training conditions for certain profes-
sions.

the Treaty,

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 quali-
fication required to ensure the quality of the services
provided on their territory. However, pursuant to Arti-
cles 10, 39 and 43 of
they should not
require a national of a Member State to obtain qualifica-
tions, which they generally lay down only in terms of
the diplomas awarded under their national educational
system, where
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 regu-
lated must take account of the qualifications obtained in
another Member State and assess whether they corre-
spond to those which it requires.

conditions

the minimum
In the absence of harmonisation of
training
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.

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 compe-
tence 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 char-
acter of recognition under the general system. Profes-
sional 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 which regulate that profession. These
criteria could, for example, include requirements such as
additional training, an adaptation period under super-
vised practice, an aptitude test, or a prescribed minimum
level of professional practice, or combinations thereof.

the Member States including all

(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 reason-
able and sufficiently recent period of time in another

(16)

(17)

Member State, while maintaining for those activities a
system of automatic recognition based on professional
experience.

Freedom of movement and the mutual recognition of
the evidence of formal qualifications of doctors, nurses
responsible for general care, dental practitioners, veter-
inary surgeons, midwives, pharmacists and architects
should be based on the fundamental principle of auto-
matic recognition of the evidence of formal qualifica-
tions 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.

In an effort to simplify the system, particularly with a
view to enlargement, the principle of automatic recogni-
tion 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
themselves,
for Member States to establish, amongst
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 qualifica-
tion 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
jaws and associated tissues. The profes-
teeth, mouth,
sional activity of
should be
carried out by holders of a qualification as dental practi-
tioner set out in this Directive.

(20)

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.

(21) 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 regula-
tions 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 supplemen-
tary 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 recogni-
tion 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 dispen-
sing 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 phar-
macists' activities or subjecting the pursuit of such activ-
ities to certain conditions.

(24) Architectural design,

the quality of buildings,

recognition of qualifications

their
harmonious
surroundings,
incorporation into their
respect for natural and urban landscapes and for the
public and private heritage are a matter of public
interest. Mutual
should
therefore be based on qualitative and quantitative criteria
which ensure that the holders of recognised qualifica-
tions 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 exploita-
tion 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 archi-
tect 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 engi-
neers 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 regula-
tions governing those activities.

(26)

In order to ensure the effectiveness of the system for the
recognition of professional qualifications, uniform form-
alities and rules of procedure should be defined for its
implementation, as well as certain details of the pursuit
of the profession.

(27)

Since collaboration among the Member States and
between them and the Commission is likely to facilitate
the implementation of this Directive and compliance
with the obligations deriving from it, the means of colla-
boration should be organised.

(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 organisa-
tion 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.

(29) 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 recog-
nition of qualifications. A single committee for the
recognition of professional qualifications should be set
up for this purpose.

HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

The provisions of this Directive do not affect the powers

national social security system and determining the
activities which must be pursued under that system.

TITLE I

GENERAL PROVISIONS

In view of the speed of technological change and scien-
tific progress, life-long learning is of particular impor-
tance for a large number of professions. In this context,
it is for the Member States to adopt the detailed arrange-
ments under which, through suitable ongoing training,
professionals will keep abreast of technical and scientific
progress.

Since the objectives of this Directive, namely the rationa-
lisation, 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 proportion-
ality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go
beyond what
is necessary in order to achieve those
objectives.

Article 1

Purpose

This Directive establishes rules according to which a Member
State which makes access to or pursuit of a regulated profes-
sion in its territory contingent upon possession of specific
professional qualifications (referred to hereinafter as the ‘host
Member State’)
recognise professional qualifications
obtained in one or more other Member States (referred to here-
inafter 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.

Article 3

Definitions

For the purposes of this Directive, the following defini-

1.
tions apply:

(a) ‘regulated profession’: a professional activity or group of
professional activities, access to which,
the pursuit of
which, or one of the modes of pursuit of which is subject,
directly or indirectly, by virtue of legislative, regulatory or
administrative provisions to the possession of specific
professional qualifications; in particular, the use of a profes-
sional title limited by legislative, regulatory or administra-
tive provisions to holders of a given professional qualifica-
tion shall constitute a mode of pursuit. Where the first
sentence of this definition does not apply, a profession
referred to in paragraph 2 shall be treated as a regulated
profession;

(b) ‘professional

qualifications’:

by
evidence of formal qualifications, an attestation of compe-
tence referred to in Article 11(2)(a) and/or professional
experience;

qualifications

attested

(c) ‘evidence of formal qualifications’: diplomas, certificates and
other evidence issued by an authority in a Member State
designated pursuant to legislative, regulatory or administra-
that Member State and certifying
tive provisions of
successful completion of professional
training obtained
mainly in the Community. Where the first sentence of this
definition does not apply, evidence of formal qualifications
referred to in paragraph 3 shall be treated as evidence of
formal qualifications;

(d) ‘regulated education and training’: any training which is
specifically geared to the pursuit of a given profession and
which comprises a course or courses complemented, where
appropriate, by professional training, or probationary or
professional practice.

The structure and level of the professional training, proba-
tionary or professional practice shall be determined by the
laws,
the
regulations or administrative provisions of
Member State concerned or monitored or approved by the
authority designated for that purpose;

(e) ‘professional experience’: the actual and lawful pursuit of

the profession concerned in a Member State;

fied member of that profession, such period of supervised
practice possibly being accompanied by further training.
This period of supervised practice shall be the subject of an
assessment. The detailed rules governing the adaptation
period and its assessment as well as the status of a migrant
under supervision shall be laid down by the competent
authority in the host Member State.

The status enjoyed in the host Member State by the person
undergoing the period of supervised practice, in particular
in the matter of right of residence as well as obligations,
social rights and benefits, allowances and remuneration,
shall be established by the competent authorities in that
Member State in accordance with applicable Community
law;

(g) ‘aptitude test’: a test limited to the professional knowledge
of the applicant, made by the competent authorities of the
host Member State with the aim of assessing the ability of
to pursue a regulated profession in that
the applicant
Member State. In order to permit this test to be carried out,
the competent authorities shall draw up a list of subjects
which, on the basis of a comparison of the education and
training required in the Member State and that received by
the applicant, are not covered by the diploma or other
evidence of formal qualifications possessed by the appli-
cant.

The aptitude test must take account of the fact that the
applicant is a qualified professional in the home Member
State or the Member State from which he comes. It shall
cover subjects to be selected from those on the list, knowl-
edge of which is essential in order to be able to pursue the
profession in the host Member State. The test may also
include knowledge of the professional rules applicable to
the activities in question in the host Member State.

The detailed application of the aptitude test and the status,
in the host Member State, of the applicant who wishes to
prepare himself for the aptitude test in that State shall be
determined by the competent authorities in that Member
State;

(h) ‘manager of an undertaking’: any person who in an under-
taking in the occupational field in question has pursued an
activity:

i) as a manager of an undertaking or a manager of a

branch of an undertaking; or

ii) as a deputy to the proprietor or the manager of an
involves responsibility
undertaking where that post
equivalent to that of the proprietor or manager repre-
sented; or

(f) ‘adaptation period’: the pursuit of a regulated profession in
the host Member State under the responsibility of a quali-

iii) in a managerial post with duties of a commercial and/
or technical nature and with responsibility for one or
more departments of the undertaking.

country shall be regarded as evidence of formal qualifications if
the holder has three years' professional experience in the
profession concerned on the territory of the Member State
which recognised that evidence of
formal qualifications in
accordance with Article 2(2), certified by that Member State.

Article 4

Effects of recognition

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

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 comparable.

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

(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.

The provisions of this title shall apply where the service
2.
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 specifi-
cally 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 terri-
tory 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), accom-
panied, for professions which have implications for public
health and safety referred to in Article 7(4) or which
benefit

(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 docu-
ments, Member States may require that
the declaration be
accompanied by the following documents:

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

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 sub-
paragraph.

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

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

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

(c) 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.

The service shall be provided under the professional title
3.
of the Member State of establishment, insofar as such a title
exists in that Member State for the professional activity in ques-
tion. 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
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.

Article 8

Administrative cooperation

The competent authorities of the host Member State may

ask the competent authorities of the Member State of establish-
ment, for each provision of services, to provide any informa-
tion relevant to the legality of the service provider's establish-
ment and his good conduct, as well as the absence of any disci-
plinary or criminal sanctions of a professional nature. The
competent authorities of the Member State of establishment
shall provide this information in accordance with the provi-
sions of Article 56.

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:

(a) if the service provider is registered in a commercial register
or similar public register, the register in which he is regis-
tered, his registration number, or equivalent means of iden-
tification contained in that register;

(b) if the activity is subject to authorisation in the Member
State of establishment, the name and address of the compe-
tent supervisory authority;

(c) any professional association or similar body with which the

service provider is registered;

formal qualification of the service provider and the Member
State in which it was awarded;

tions. The list in Annex II may be amended in accordance
with the procedure referred to in Article 58(2) in order to

provided for in the previous sentence.

Article 12

Equal treatment of qualifications

Any evidence of formal qualifications or set of evidence of
formal qualifications issued by a competent authority in a
Member State, certifying successful completion of training in
the Community which is recognised by that Member State as
being of an equivalent level and which confers on the holder
the same rights of access to or pursuit of a profession or
prepares for the pursuit of that profession, shall be treated as
evidence of
the type covered by
Article 11, including the level in question.

formal qualifications of

Any professional qualification which, although not satisfying
the requirements contained in the legislative, regulatory or
administrative provisions in force in the home Member State
for access to or the pursuit of a profession, confers on the
holder acquired rights by virtue of these provisions, shall also
be treated as such evidence of formal qualifications under the
same conditions as set out in the first subparagraph.

Article 13

Conditions for recognition

1.
If access to or pursuit of a regulated profession in a host
Member State is contingent upon possession of specific profes-
sional 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 appli-
cants 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 terri-
tory.

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;

Level D corresponds to a diploma certifying successful
5.

equivalent to the level immediately prior to that which is
required in the host Member State, as described in
Article 11.

C 58 E/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 qualifica-
tions 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;

(b) they shall attest a level of professional qualification at least
equivalent to the level immediately prior to that required in
the host Member State, as described in Article 11;

(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

(b) the training he has received covers substantially different
matters than those covered by the evidence of formal quali-
fications 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.

If

the host Member State makes use of

2.
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 require-
ment, set out in the previous subparagraph, that it give the
applicant a choice between an adaptation period and an apti-
tude test,
inform the other Member States and the
Commission in advance and provide sufficient justification for
the derogation.

it shall

If, after receiving all necessary information, the Commission
considers that the derogation referred to in the second sub-
paragraph 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
requires precise knowledge of
professions whose pursuit
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.

Article 13 does not preclude the host Member State from
1.
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;

This applies also to the cases provided for in Article 10 (b) and
(c),
in Article 10 (d) concerning doctors and dental practi-
tioners, 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 specia-
lised 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).

C 58 E/12

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

8.3.2005

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 applica-
tion 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 knowl-
edge 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 prin-
ciple 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 substan-
tial difference referred to in paragraph 4.

with paragraph 2, the host Member State shall waive the appli-
cation 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 qualifica-
tions, 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… (*), submit to the European
Parliament and the Council a report on the operation of this
Article and, if necessary, appropriate proposals for amending

B. PRACTICAL AND CLINICAL TRAINING

This training is to be dispensed under appropriate supervision:
— Advising of pregnant women, involving at least 100 pre-natal examinations.
— Supervision and care of at least 40 pregnant women.
— Conduct by the student of at least 40 deliveries; where this number cannot be reached owing to the lack of available women in labour, it may be

reduced to a minimum of 30, provided that the student assists with 20 further deliveries.

— Active participation with breech deliveries. Where this is not possible because of lack of breech deliveries, practice may be in a simulated situation.
— Performance of episiotomy and initiation into suturing. Initiation shall include theoretical instruction and clinical practice. The practice of suturing
includes suturing of the wound following an episiotomy and a simple perineal laceration. This may be in a simulated situation if absolutely neces-
sary.

— Supervision and care of 40 women at risk in pregnancy, or labour or post-natal period.
— Supervision and care (including examination) of at least 100 post-natal women and healthy new-born infants.
— Observation and care of the new-born requiring special care, including those born pre-term, post-term, underweight or ill.
— Care of women with pathological conditions in the fields of gynaecology and obstetrics.
— Initiation into care in the field of medicine and surgery. Initiation shall include theoretical instruction and clinical practice.

The theoretical and technical training (Part A of the training programme) shall be balanced and coordinated with the
clinical training (Part B of the same programme) in such a way that the knowledge and experience listed in this Annex
may be acquired in an adequate manner.

Clinical instruction shall take the form of supervised in-service training in hospital departments or other health services
approved by the competent authorities or bodies. As part of this training, student midwives shall participate in the activ-
ities of the departments concerned in so far as those activities contribute to their training. They shall be taught the
responsibilities involved in the activities of midwives.

declaration on oath - or, in States where there is no provision for declaration on oath, by a solemn declaration -
made by the person concerned before a competent judicial or administrative authority or, where appropriate, a
notary or qualified professional body of the home Member State or the Member State from which the person comes;
such authority or notary shall issue a certificate attesting the authenticity of the declaration on oath or solemn
declaration.

(e) Where a host Member State requires of its own nationals wishing to take up a regulated profession, a document
relating to the physical or mental health of the applicant, that Member State shall accept as sufficient evidence
thereof the presentation of the document required in the home Member State. Where the home Member State does
not issue such a document, the host Member State shall accept a certificate issued by a competent authority in that
State. In that case, the competent authorities of the home Member State must provide the document required within
a period of two months.

f) Where a host Member State requires its own nationals wishing to take up a regulated profession to furnish:

— proof of the applicant's financial standing,

— proof that the applicant is insured against the financial risks arising from their professional liability in accordance

with the laws and regulations in force in the host Member State regarding the terms and extent of cover,

that Member State shall accept as sufficient evidence an attestation to that effect issued by the banks and insurance
undertakings of another Member State.

2. Certificates

To facilitate the application of Title III, Chapter III, of this Directive, Member States may prescribe that, in addition to
evidence of formal qualifications, the person who satisfies the conditions of training required must provide a certificate
from the competent authorities of his home Member State stating that this evidence of formal qualifications is that
covered by this Directive.

STATEMENT OF THE COUNCIL'S REASONS

I. INTRODUCTION

1. On 7 March 2002 the Commission submitted a proposal for a Directive of the European Parlia-
ment and of the Council on the recognition of professional qualifications (1), based on Article 40,
Article 47(1), (2) first and third sentences and Article 55 of the EC Treaty.

2. The Economic and Social Committee delivered its Opinion on 18 September 2002 (2).

3. The European Parliament delivered its Opinion at first reading on 11 February 2004 (3).

4. The Commission submitted an amended proposal on 20 April 2004 (4).

5. 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 condi-
tions 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.

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 posi-
tion).

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.

(1) OJ C 181E, 30.7.2002, p. 183.
(2) OJ C 61, 14.3.2003., p. 67.
(3) OJ C 97 E, 22.4.2004, p. 231.
(4) COM(2004) 317 — 8722/04.
(5) The common position uses continuous numbering. Where this results in recitals, Articles and/or paragraphs having
different numbers in the common position from those of the Commission proposal, the present document mentions
both the number in the Commission proposal and the number in the common position.

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 amend-
ment 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’.

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.

12. 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.

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.

8.3.2005

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

C 58 E/121

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 Parlia-
ment (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 occa-
sional 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 accord-
ingly.

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.

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 amend-
ments 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).

C 58 E/122

Official Journal of the European Union

8.3.2005

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 implica-
tions, 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. Conse-
quently, 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 Parlia-
ment'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

8.3.2005

EN

C 58 E/123

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 Direc-
tives, 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.

29. The European Parliament has proposed (amendments 192, 193, 216 and 217) clarifications to
Article 11(2), (3), (5) and (6), which are in line with the acquis. The Commission has accepted
these clarifications, subject to redrafting, in its amended proposal. The Council has also accepted
them, subject to redrafting and subject to the Council's position as explained under point 28
above.

30. The Council has not accepted the European Parliament's amendments 57 and 218 to Article 11 for

the reasons given by the Commission in its amended proposal.

31. The Council has added in Articles 11(4) and 13(2) of its common position the possibility of

updating the lists in Annexes II and III under the ‘comitology’ procedure.

32. The Council has not accepted the European Parliament's proposal for a new Article 12a (amend-

ment 59) for the reasons given by the Commission in its amended proposal.

33. The Council has not accepted the amendment proposed by the European Parliament

to
Article 13(1) and its proposal for a new paragraph 1a (amendment 60) for the reasons given by the
Commission in its amended proposal.

34. 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.

35. The European Parliament has proposed a number of amendments relating to qualifications
acquired on the basis of franchised education (amendments 63, 214, 8 and 10 relating to
Article 13(2b) and (2c) and recitals 7a and 7c) The Council has not accepted amendments 214 and
10 for the reasons given by the Commission in its amended proposal. 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 fran-
chised 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).

36. The Council has added a new paragraph to Article 14 (Article 14(3) of the Council's common posi-
tion), which allows the host Member State, rather than the applicant, to choose which compensa-
tion measure should be applied where precise knowledge of national law is concerned and in
certain specific cases falling under Article 10(a), (b), (c), (d), (f) and (g) (see point 27 above).

C 58 E/124

8.3.2005

37. In Article 14(1) and (2), the Council has not adopted the European Parliament's amendment 64
and the part of amendment 151 relating to tacit acceptance, for the reasons given by the Commis-
sion in its amended proposal. The Council also considers the part of amendment 151 relating to
‘well-founded and indispensable reasons’ to be redundant in the light of the requirement in the
same subparagraph to ‘provide sufficient justification’. The Council considers that the remaining
part of amendment 151 would create uncertainty and therefore has not accepted it.

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),

— the Commission should consult the Member States before deciding whether or not a draft
common platform would facilitate the mutual recognition of professional qualifications
(Article 15(2) of the common position),

— this Article does not affect the competence of Member States to decide the professional qualifi-
cations 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 propo-
sals 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 redu-
cing 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 sepa-
rate Articles (Articles 17 and 18 of the common position) and has rearranged the two lists in
Annex IV into three lists.

to replace
The Council has accepted the European Parliament's proposal
‘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 amend-
ment 207 concerning a new subparagraph (da) in Article 17(1), for the reasons given by the
Commission in its amended proposal.

(amendment 207)

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’ proce-
dure 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 cate-
gories’ (1).

Title III, Chapter III — Recognition on the basis of coordination of minimum training condi-
tions

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 Arti-
cles 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).

42. 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 Direc-
tives.

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). In accordance with the aim of simplication which underlies this Directive, the Council has
preferred to merge in a single provision (Article 22(a) of the common position) all the provisions
relating to part-time training, with the consequent deletion of Articles 23(4), 26(4), 29(3) third sub-
paragraph and 36(3) of the Commission's proposal.

(1) For the same reason, the Council has specified the bounds of the implementing powers provided for in Articles 23(6)

and 24 of the proposal (Articles 25(5) and 26 of the common position).

C 58 E/126

8.3.2005

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 Commis-
sion 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 Council has also added provisions in respect of qualifications for nurses and midwives
awarded in Poland, which take account of legislation introduced in Poland since the conclusion of
the Acts of Accession referred to above (Articles 33(3) and 43(4) of the common position).

48. The Council has corrected the date in Articles 21(2)(a) and 39(2) of the Commission proposal from

3 October 1989 to 3 October 1990 (Articles 23(2)(a) and 43(2) of the common position).

49. The Council has not accepted the European Parliament's amendment 155 proposing the deletion
of Article 23(6) of the Commission proposal for the reasons given by the Commission in its
amended proposal.

50. The European Parliament proposed in its amendment 156 to the second subparagraph of Article 24
that it should be possible to include in Annex V, point 5.1.4, by the ‘comitology’ procedure not
only new medical specialties common to all the Member States, but also new medical specialties
common to a limited number of Member States. 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.

51. The Council has incorporated the spirit of the European Parliament's amendment 87, proposing a

new Article 28a, into Title II of its common position (see points 19 to 24 above).

52. As in the case of medical specialties (point 50 above), the Council has re-introduced the possibility
of automatic recognition for dental specialties common to at least two fifths of the Member States.
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.

53. The Council has not accepted the European Parliament's amendment 92, which proposed adding a

new paragraph 2a in Article 35, for the reasons given by the Commission in its amended proposal.

54. The Council has not accepted the European Parliament's amendments 98 and 19, proposing a new
paragraph 1b in Article 40 and a corresponding new recital 19a, for the reasons given by the
Commission in its amended proposal.

55. In its amendments 162, 163, 104 and 18, the European Parliament has proposed that the deroga-
tion in respect of pharmacies contained in Article 2 (2) of Directive 85/433/EEC be retained in
Article 41(2a) or (2b) or (4a) and referred to in recital 19 of the proposal. The Council has accepted
the retention of this derogation, but considers that it would be better placed in Article 20 of the
proposal (Article 21(4) in the common position), as it concerns automatic recognition of evidence
of formal qualifications.

56. The Council has also retained the derogation in respect of pharmacies contained in Article 5
second subparagraph of Directive 85/433/EEC in Article 41 of the proposal (Article 45(4) of the
common position).

57. The Council has not accepted the European Parliament's amendment 212, which proposes a new

Article 45a, for the reasons given by the Commission in its amended proposal.

Title III, Chapter IV — Common provisions on establishment

58. The Council has transferred point 2(b) of Annex VII of the Commission proposal to Article 46
(Article 50(2) in the common position), considering that it should appear in this Article rather
than in an Annex.

59. The Council has transferred Article 46(2) of the Commission proposal from Title III to Article 52
(Article 56(2) in the common position) in Title V, considering that this provision should be applic-
able not only in respect of establishment but also in respect of the cross-border provision of
services. The Council has further extended this provision to the exchange of information in both
directions between the competent authorities of the host and home Member States, as proposed
by the European Parliament in its amendment 110, as well as adding a specific reference to ‘disci-
plinary action or criminal sanctions taken’, and making it clear that the exchange of information
has to respect personal data legislation.

60. The Council has amended Article 47(2) of the proposal (Article 51(2) of the common position) to
allow an extra month in cases falling under Chapters I and II of Title III, in accordance with the
time allowed under existing Directives.

61. The Council has not accepted the European Parliament's amendment 113, which adds a new
paragraph 2a to Article 48, for the reasons given by the Commission in its amended proposal.

Title IV — Detailed rules for pursuing the profession

62. The Council has moved Article 49 (Article 53 in the common position) on knowledge of languages
to Title IV, which concerns not only establishment but also the provision of services. The Council
has further deleted Article 49(2) of the proposal, as it considers that it contains an obligation of
result which cannot be guaranteed. The Council has not accepted amendment 114 proposed by
the European Parliament, as its considers that Directives should be addressed to Member States,
not to migrants.

63. The Council has limited the waiver provided for in Article 51 (Article 55 of the common position)

to doctors and dental practitioners, in accordance with the existing Directives.

Title V — Administrative cooperation and responsibility for implementation

64. The Council has not accepted the European Parliament's amendments 116, 117 and 118, which
would replace ‘competent authorities’ by ‘professional associations or similar competent bodies’ in
Article 52 of the proposal and which would give the role of the contact points under Article 53 to
those bodies, for the reasons given by the Commission in its amended proposal. For the same
reasons, it has not accepted the Parliament's related amendment 136 in Article 8(1). Moreover, the
Council sees no compelling reason to replace ‘competent authorities’ by ‘competent bodies’.

65. The Council has amended the last subparagraph of Article 53 of the proposal (Article 57 in the
common position) to make it clear, in the interests of proportionality, that contact points are not
required to inform the Commission systematically of all enquiries which they receive.

66. The Council has made it clear in a new recital (recital 28 in the common position) that it is for each
Member State to determine how the single contact point which it is required to designate works
together with other offices set up in that State. This recital also takes over a number of elements
of the new recital 23a proposed by the European Parliament in is amendment 26.

67. The Council has deleted Article 54(3) of the Commission proposal, as it considers that the contents
of this paragraph are a matter for the rules of procedure of the committee set up by this Article,
rather than for this Directive.

68. In its amendments 119 and 120, the European Parliament proposes that two committees, rather
than one, be set up under Article 54 of the proposal. The Council has not accepted these amend-
ments for the reasons given by the Commission in its amended proposal.

The European Parliament has also made a number of proposals in amendments 119 and 120 as
well as in amendments 27, 180, 181, 182, 183, 83 and 157 concerning the organisation of the
work of the committee and the setting up of an expert group to assist the Commission (recitals 24,
24a, 24b, 25a and Articles 23a and 24(2a), (2b) and (2c)). The Council agrees with the Commission
that these matters should be left to the committee's internal rules of procedure and to the
Commission, and should not be regulated in the text of the Directive. In this context, the Council
has taken note of a statement by the Commission on the creation and the operation of an expert
group, in particular in the context of Articles 54, 15 and 20(6).

Title VI — Other provisions

69. The Council has added to Article 55 of the proposal a new paragraph (Article 59(2) of the common
position) which provides for the Commission to draw up a report every five years on the imple-
mentation of the Directive.

The Council has not accepted the additions to Article 55 and the related new recitals 21a and 22a
proposed by the European Parliament in its amendments 187, 122, 23 and 186, for the reasons
given by the Commission in its amended proposal.

70. The Council has not accepted the European Parliament's amendments 168, 123 and 124, which
propose amendments to Article 56(2) and a new Article 56(2a) relating to the derogation clause, for
the reasons given by the Commission in its amended proposal.

71. The Council has added a clarification in the interest of legal certainty in Article 57 of the proposal
(Article 61 in the common position) which makes it clear that any acts adopted on the basis of
the Directives which will be repealed by this Directive will not be affected by the repeal of those
Directives.

Annexes

72. As explained above (see points 41, 42, 47, 50, 52 and 58), the Council has transferred part of the
contents of the Annexes into the relevant Articles of the Directive, has rearranged some of the
Annexes, and has added to the Annexes material relating to the Member States which acceded to
the European Union on 1 May 2004, on the basis of provisions in the relevant Acts of Accession
adding the corresponding material to the existing Directives.

73. The Council has not accepted, as unnecessary, the European Parliament's amendment 126 adding

the profession of ‘tourist guide’ to Annex II for Greece.

Other European Parliament amendments

74. The Council has not accepted a number of other amendments proposed by the European Parlia-

ment, as it considers them to be unnecessary.

IV. CONCLUSIONS

75. In its common position, the Council has taken over an appreciable number of amendments
proposed by the European Parliament.Where the Council has not accepted amendments proposed
by the European Parliament, it has been mainly for the reasons given by the Commission in its
amended proposal.

While the Commission would have preferred the Council's common position to remain closer to
its proposal, in particular with regard to Title II on the temporary and occasional cross-border
provision of services, it has accepted the common position as a satisfactory compromise package.
