COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 279/2009
of 6 April 2009
amending Annex II to Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the recognition of professional qualifications
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 September 2005 on the recognition of professional qualifications (1), and in particular its Article 11(c)(ii),
Whereas:
(1) Slovakia has submitted a reasoned request for amendment to Annex II to Directive 2005/36/EC. It has requested the addition of the profession of dental technician (zubný technik), which meets the conditions provided for in Article 11(c)(ii) of Directive 2005/36/EC, as is apparent from the Government Regulation No 742/2004 Coll. on professional qualifications of health professionals.
(2) Denmark has submitted a reasoned request for amendments to Annex II to Directive 2005/36/EC. It has requested the removal from Annex II to Directive 2005/36/EC of the profession of optician (optometrist) which has been upgraded to the level of the diploma, as provided for in Article 11(d) of Directive 2005/36/EC, and therefore no longer meets the requirements of Article 11(c)(ii) of that Directive. Denmark has also requested the removal from Annex II to Directive 2005/36/EC of the professions of orthopaedic technician (ortopædimekaniker) and of orthopaedic boot and shoemaker (ortopædiskomager) which are no longer regulated in Denmark.
(3) Directive 2005/36/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the recognition of professional qualifications,
