Recognition of professional qualifications obtained in another EU Member State is essential to establish an internal market for professional services.
The regime governing the recognition of professional qualifications based on Directive 2005/36/EC has been modernised with Directive 2013/55/EU of 20 November 2013. The revised Professional Qualifications Directive (PQD) will have to be transposed by all EU Member States by 18 January 2016.
