Paragraph 27

Paragraph 27 a (new)
27a. Takes the view, in respect of the professional services sector, that different approaches to regulation do not per se constitute an obstacle to the deepening of the internal market; stresses that rules on access to and the exercise of professions may be necessary for the protection of public interest and consumer protection and their evaluation makes sense only in the national context;
