Directive 2001/19/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council

of 14 May 2001

amending Council Directives 89/48/EEC and 92/51/EEC on the general system for the recognition of professional qualifications and Council Directives 77/452/EEC, 77/453/EEC, 78/686/EEC, 78/687/EEC, 78/1026/EEC, 78/1027/EEC, 80/154/EEC, 80/155/EEC, 85/384/EEC, 85/432/EEC, 85/433/EEC and 93/16/EEC concerning the professions of nurse responsible for general care, dental practitioner, veterinary surgeon, midwife, architect, pharmacist and doctor

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 40, 47(1), the first and third sentences of Article 47(2), and Article 55 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),

Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(2),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3), in the light of the joint text approved by the Conciliation Committee on 15 January 2001,

In this Report the Commission undertook to examine the possibility of incorporating into that Directive the obligation to take into consideration, when examining applications for recognition, experience gained following the award of the qualification in question, the possibility of introducing the concept of "regulated education and training". The Commission also undertook to examine the arrangements whereby the role of the Coordinating Group set up by Article 9(2) of Directive 89/48/EEC could be developed in order to ensure more uniform application and interpretation of the Directive.
  • (2) 
    The concept of regulated education and training, introduced by 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(5) (both Directives being hereinafter referred to as the "general system Directives"), should be extended to the initial general system and should be based on the same principles by applying to it the same rules; it should be left to the individual Member States to choose the means of defining professions covered by regulated education and training.
  • (3) 
    The general system Directives permit the host Member State to require, subject to certain conditions, the applicant to take compensation steps, notably where substantial differences exist between the theoretical and/or practical education and training undergone and that covered by the qualification required in the host Member State; under Articles 39 and 43 of the Treaty, as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the European Communities(6), the host Member State must assess whether professional experience is sufficient in order to prove...
