Type: Judgment

Authority: European Authorities: Euopean Union' Court of Justice

Date: 12/17/2009

Subject: According to the Court the fact that access to a profession is reserved to candidates who have been successful in a procedure to select a predefined number of persons on the basis of a comparative assessment of the candidates rather than by application of absolute criteria, which confers a qualification the validity of which is strictly limited in time, does not mean that that profession constitutes a regulated profession within the meaning of Directive 2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications. Nevertheless, Articles 39 EC and 43 EC require qualifications obtained in other Member States to be accorded their proper value and to be duly taken into account in such a procedure.
