ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS
The professional acknowledgment allows the use of a title study given by a member state for the exsercise of a job qualification in another State of the European Union. But It is necessary to distinguish between restricted professions and not restricted professions.
RESRICTED PROFESSIONS
In Europe is previewed a general system of acknowledgment of the qualifications that give qualification to exercise the restricted professions.
However, the general system does not cover the professions that already have been restricted to communitarian level by a transitory or sectorial directive. The professions covered from a sector directive are seven: generic and specialist doctors, nurses, dentists, obstetrician, veterinaries, druggists and architects. The general system moreover does not cover some artisan, industrial activities or trades contemplated in the transitory directives.
NOT RESTRICTED PROFESSIONS
The general system finally is not applied if a profession is not restricted, therefore it is possible to exercise the profession in the host State, with the same conditions of the citizens and without any demand for acknowledgment.
TO WHOM APPLY TO?
On the base of the profession someone wants to excersize, it is necessary to keep in touch with the competent autority of the host country, the autority will confront the acquired formation in the State member of origin with that demand in the accommodating member State
