This evaluation of the Professional Qualifications Directive assesses the functioning of the European rules applying to the recognition of professional qualifications, and identifies the remaining obstacles to the mobility of professionals.
The evaluation is based on twelve questions, covering the various situations in which the Directive is applied (establishment and temporary mobility), the different regimes set out in the Directive (general system and automatic recognition) and the most relevant horizontal provisions (assessment of language skills, recognition of third country diplomas, administrative cooperation and assistance to citizens).
The evaluation was carried out in order to assess the rules on the recognition of professional qualifications from the point of view of the following criteria: effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, consistency and acceptability. It is based on a broad input from a wide range of all stakeholders (Member States, competent authorities, professional organisations, citizens, educational bodies, trade unions, SOLVIT centres and National Contact Points). The consultation process allowed to collect concrete evidence on the functioning of the Directive and to involve all interested parties in the assessment of possible improvements.
