Abstract

The rights of citizens to practice economic activities in another Member State are a

fundamental aspect of the European labour market. Within the limits of the Internal Market

rules, each Member State is free to make access to a particular profession. But this is an

obstacle to the free movement of professionals in the European Union. So, the aim of

Directive 2005/36/EC is to facilitate recognition of professional qualifications within the

European Union.

Key words: European labour market, professional qualifications, education, training

conditions.

Introduction

The recognition of professional qualifications at European level is only one of the

measures to unify the educational requirements related to those of free movement of labor

within the European Union.

Although the education system differs from country to country, education is an ongoing

concern of Member States. The implementation of these important issues, the EU is a

favorable framework for the exchange of ideas and debate best practice, its role being to

develop a more effective cooperation between Member States by maintaining the right of

each state to decide on the content and organization systems education and training.

The Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the

recognition of professional qualifications. General aspects

Among the fundamental freedoms in the Single Market are the rights of EU citizens to

establish themselves or to provide services anywhere in the EU. These regulations which only

recognise professional qualifications of a particular jurisdiction are obstacles to these

fundamental freedoms. These obstacles are overcome by EU rules guaranteeing the mutual

recognition of professional qualifications between Member States.

These rules are mainly the following:

•

harmonisation of training requirements which allow for automatic recognition of

professional qualifications and which are mainl y in the health sector (doctors, nurses,

dentists, midwives, veterinary surgeons, pharmacists and architects); further

information can be found on the pages
