Denmark

Short description

Vocational  education  and  training  in  Denmark  has 
embarked  on  a  process  of  modernisation  aiming  at, 
primarily, 
individualisation, 
increasing 
quality and efficiency.

flexibility,  and 

competence-based 

Assessment  and  recognition  of  informal  and  non-formal 
learning, 
innovative 
approaches  to  teaching,  and  increased  possibilities  for 
partial qualifications are factors that bring Danish educa-
tion and training closer to learners. 

curricula, 

Recent  introduction  of  new  apprenticeship  and  EUX 
programmes  increase  flexibility  of  various  pathways  in 
traini ng 
vocational  upper  secondary  education  and 
– IVET –  and  reflect  an  overall  educational  policy  trend 
towards  more  differentiated  and  individualised  working 
methods. The latter programme is particularly relevant in 
improving progression of IVET students to higher educa-
tion, which is still rather limited and is currently a political 
priority in Denmark.

 Public financing of VET is a central feature of the system. 
The government attaches great importance to improving 
quality and efficiency of the Danish education and training 
system to equip all individuals with the skills required for a 
modern  workforce  in  a  knowledge-based  society,  permit 
career development, and reduce skills mismatches.

Tribunale Amministrativo Regionale per la Lombardia

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: Alessandra Venturini

Defendants: ASL Varese and Others

Question referred

Do the principles of freedom of establishment, non-discrimination and the preservation of competition under Article 49 et seq TFEU preclude national legislation which does not allow a pharmacist, who is qualified and entered in the relevant professional register but does not own a pharmacy on the ‘pianta organica’ [territorial grid], also to offer for retail sale, in the para-pharmacy owned by that pharmacist, pharmaceutical products which are subject to a prescription in the form of a ‘ricetta bianca’ — that is to say, pharmaceutical products the cost of which is borne not by the [national health service] but wholly by the citizen — and which accordingly also establishes in that sector a prohibition on the sale of certain categories of pharmaceutical product, as well as a quota in relation to the number of commercial outlets which may be established in the national territory?
