COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 97/38/EC of 20 June 1997 amending Annex C to Council Directive 92/51/EEC on a second general system for the recognition of professional education and training to supplement Council Directive 89/48/EEC (Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/51/EEC of 18 June 1992 on a second general system for the recognition of professional education and training to supplement Directive 89/48/EEC (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 95/43/EC (2), and in particular Article 15 thereof,
Whereas the government of the United Kingdom has made a reasoned request to remove three of its training courses from Annex C to the Directive;
Whereas the United Kingdom has altered its education and training course for medical laboratory scientific officer, with the result that this course now requires three years of higher education and thus comes under Council Directive 89/48/EEC (3); whereas, accordingly, the course of education and training for the profession of medical laboratory scientific officer should no longer be included in Annex C since holders of qualifications obtained under the former regulation and which are covered by Directive 92/51/EEC could, by virtue of Article 1 (a) of Directive 89/48/EEC, apply to be treated in the same way;
Whereas the profession of prosthetist is currently not regulated in the United Kingdom;
Whereas the profession of probation officer is no longer regulated in the United Kingdom;
Whereas the measures provided for by the present directive are in conformity with the opinion given by the Committee established by Article 15 of Council Directive 92/51/EEC,
