Amendment 89 #
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.

Amendment 100 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 4
(4) Directive 2005/36/EC only applies to professionals who want to pursue the same profession in another Member State. There are cases where the activities concerned are part of a profession with a larger scope of activities in the host Member State. If the differences between the fields of activity are so large that in reality a full programme of education and training is required from the professional to compensate for shortcomings and if the professional so requests, a host Member State should under these particular circumstances grant partial access. However, in case of overriding reasons of general interest, such as in the case of a doctor of medicine or other health professionals or professionals involved in the proper administration of justice, a Member State should be able to refuse partial access.

Amendment 118 #
Proposal for a directive
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 132 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 18
(18) Directive 2005/36/EC should promote a more automatic character of recognition of qualifications for those professions which do not currently benefit from it. This should take account of the competence of Member States to decide the qualifications required for the pursuit of professions in their territory as well as the contents and the organisation of their systems of education and professional training. Before introducing such training principles, Member States should examine possible alternatives, particularly those that exist in Member States with vocational training. Professional associations and organisations which are representative at national and Union level should also be able to propose common training principles. It should take the form of a common test as a condition for acquiring a professional qualification, or training programmes based on a common set of knowledge, skills and competences. Qualifications obtained under such common training frameworks should automatically be recognised by Member States.
