Proposal for a directive
Recital 19
(19) Directive 2005/36/EC already provides for clear obligations for professionals to have the necessary language skills. The review of that obligation has shown a need to define these language requirements more precisely and to clarify the role of competent authorities and employers notably in the interest of patients' safety. Language controls should however be reasonable and necessary for the jobs in question and should not constitute grounds for excluding professionals from the labour market in the host Member StatIn the case of occupations which have implications for patients, for example patient safety and treatment and the provision of services and information to patients, it is essential to test language knowledge before authorising a person to practise. Knowledge of the official language(s) of the language area where the professional wishes to work is a conditio sine qua non here. Level C1 of the European Framework of Reference for Languages should be taken as a minimum standard for this purpose.

(2a) Dual vocational training systems are a key element for low youth unemployment. Given that they are tailored to the requirements of the economy, they permit a smooth transition from training into working life. They should not just be strengthened in this Regulation, but also taken into consideration in other European legislation on reducing youth unemployment. These vocational training systems and their specific features should, moreover, remain unaffected by the rules of Directive 2005/36/EC.

Recital 8
(8) In order to apply the mechanism of recognition under the general system, it is necessary to group the various national education and training schemes into different levels. Those levels, which are established only for the purpose of the operation of the general system, should have neither effect upon the national education and training structures nor upon the competence of Member States in this field, including a national policy for implementing the European Qualifications Framework. This can be a tool to promote the transparency and comparability of qualifications and can be a useful additional source of information for the competent authorities examining the recognition of qualifications issued in other Member States. The levels established for the operation of the general system should in principle no longer be used as a criterion for excluding Union citizens from the scope of Directive 2005/36/EC when this would be contrary to the principle of life long learning.

Amendment 128 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 15
(15) The nursing and midwifery professions have significantly evolved in the last three decades: community-based healthcare, the use of more complex therapies and constantly developing technology presuppose a capacity for higher responsibilities for nurses and midwives. In order to prepare them to meet such complex healthcare needs, nursing and midwifery students need to have a solid general education background before they start the training. Therefore, admission to that training should be increased to twelve years of general education or success in an examination of an equivalent level; the decisive factor, however, is the quality and content of training, which must constantly be brought into line with the challenges facing these professions.

Article 1 – point 38
Directive 2005/36/EC
Article 53 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 2
In the case of professions with patient safety implications, Member States may confer to the competent authorities the right to carry out language checking covering all professionals concerned if it is expressly requested by the national health care system, or in case of self-employed professionals not affiliated to the nationals health care system, by representative national patient organisationsimplications for patients, including for patient safety, and in the case of treatment of and the provision of services and information to patients, the language knowledge required in order to practise the profession (namely knowledge of the official language(s) of the language area where the professional wishes to work, in accordance with the institutional organisation of the receiving Member State) must be systematically tested by the competent authorities for all professionals concerned. Language checking must be separate from the recognition of professional qualifications, but must be carried out prior to admission to the profession. Level C1 of the European Framework of Reference for Languages should be taken as a minimum standard for this purpose. Member States may confer the right to check language knowledge on third-party bodies as well.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 21
(21) Directive 2005/36/EC provides for a system of national contact points. Due to the entry into force of Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on services in the internal market24, and the establishment of points of single contact under that Directive, there is a risk of overlap. Therefore, the national contact points established by Directive 2005/36/EC, for example, should become assistance centres which should focus their activities on providing advice to citizens, including face to face advice, in order to ensure that daily application of internal market rules in individual cases of citizens is followed up at national level.

Amendment 160 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 23
(23) One of the major difficulties a citizen who is interested to work in another Member State is facing, is complexity and uncertainty of administrative procedures to comply with. Directive 2006/123/EC already obliges Member States to provide easy access to information and procedure completion through the points of single contact. Citizens seeking recognition of their qualifications under Directive 2005/36/EC can already use the points of single contact if they are covered by Directive 2006/123/EC. However, job seekers and health professionals are not covered by Directive 2006/123/EC and available information remains scarce. There is therefore a need to specify that information, from a user perspective, and to ensure that such information is easily available. It is also important that Member States not only take responsibility at national level but also cooperate with each other and the Commission to ensure that professionals throughout the Union have an easy access to a user-friendly and multilingual information and to procedure completionthe easiest possible procedure completion – e.g. within the scope of Directive 2005/36/EC – through the points of single contact. Links should be made available through other websites, such as the Your Europe portal.
