Proposal for a directive
Recital 2 a (new)

(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.

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.
