Statute overview

About this statute

This Directive sets rules for recognising professional qualifications from other Member States and limits host Member States’ ability to block cross-border services for qualification-related reasons. This provision requires Member States to recognise certain professional qualifications and experience from other Member States, and it lets host states require compensation measures in some cases. This part sets minimum training standards and recognition rules for several health and regulated professions, and it requires Member States and competent authorities to coordinate recognition procedures. Member States must set up contact points and transpose the Directive by 20 October 2007; the Commission, the contact points, and the Committee each have reporting, consultation, and procedure duties. This provision lists recognised training courses and qualification routes, and requires certain national authorities to send course lists to the Commission and other Member States. It also allows some doctors who qualified before 1 June 1994 to keep using the earlier title ‘Krankengymnast(in)’ if they wish.
