Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the European Communities (Recognition of Professional Qualifications) Regulations 2007 (“the 2007 Regulations”). The 2007 Regulations implement in part Council Directive 2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications (OJ No. L255, 30.09.2005 p 22) as amended by Council Directive 2006/100/EC (OJ No. L 363 of 20.12.2006 p.141).
Regulation 3 alters the implementation of article 14(3) of the Directive in relation to the derogation from the choice of compensation measures for midwives and nurses responsible for general care who do not meet the professional requirements which would grant them acquired rights. The 2007 Regulations only permitted these nurses and midwives to undertake an adaptation period of training. Regulation 3 amends regulation 26 of the 2007 Regulations to remove these nurses and midwives from inclusion within the derogation and permit them a choice of compensation measures: an aptitude test or an adaptation period in order to meet the practising requirements.
An impact assessment of the effect that the amendment in regulation 3 of this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available from the BIS website (www.bis.gov.uk). It is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk. Copies have also been placed in the Libraries of both Houses of Parliament.
