EUA briefing note on amendments to Directive on recognition of professional qualifications

Following the review of Directive 2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications, the amending Directive (2013/55/EU) was published in the Official Journal at the end of December 2013.
Member states now have a two-year transposition period in which to make the necessary adjustments to their national legislations. As stated recently in EUA’s newsletter and in EUA’s professional qualifications updates, the amended Directive contains much that is relevant to higher education.
EUA Senior Adviser Howard Davies has therefore produced a detailed briefing note for EUA members, which focuses on key aspects of the new legislation for HE institutions. Download the briefing note here.
