PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

These Regulations revoke the European Communities (Recognition of Professional Qualifications) Regulations 1991 and two amending Regulations and consolidate those provisions which are substantially re-enacted and incorporated. In addition, these Regulations have included a wider definition of “regulated profession” in the United Kingdom. Designated authorities are therefore authorities listed in Schedule 1, or when not so listed, the competent authority for any regulated profession or regulated professional activity, this could include new professions established after the Regulations are in force to ensure continued effective implementation of EU obligations. Schedules 1, 3 and 4 within the Regulations have also been updated.
