On 2 July 2001 the European Commission launched a public consultation on how to improve the EU regime for recognition in all Member States of professional qualifications. The results will be taken into account when the Commission presents a proposal for a new Directive, due before the Spring European Council in 2002, to create a more uniform, transparent and flexible regime in this area. The objectives of this forthcoming proposal, as announced in the Commission's new European labour markets Communication (see IP/01/276), are to simplify and consolidate existing legislation, to improve the conditions for professional recognition and to liberalise service provision within the EU, whilst ensuring a high level of health and consumer protection. |
