INTRODUCTION

The present guide is one of the results of the project called „The

Network of Competent Authorities for Professional Qualifications in

Romania (IMI PQ NET Romania)” implemented by the Ministry of

National Education in partnership with the National Qualifications

Authority and the Institute for Social Policies (IPS), co-financed by the

European Social Fund through the Sectoral Operational Program Human

Resources Development 2007– 2013(POSDRU).

The General Objective of the project called „The Network of

Competent Authorities for Professional Qualifications in Romania (IMI

PQ NET Romania)” consists in creating and consolidating the IMI

Network (Internal Market Information) for the professional

qualifications in Romania (IMI PQ NET), with the purpose of

sustaining the CE initiative regarding the development of the System for

Informing the Internal Market, the development of a common initiative

in this respect, at a national level, targeting the consolidation of the

social partners’ capability (agencies and governmental organizations,

professional associations) to promote durable development through the

creation of proper instruments and communication channels and

mutual consultancy with the purpose of gaining efficient

communication with the similar organizations within the European

Union and the European Economic Aria (SEA), through the IMI

platform.

To achieve the overall objective, MEN, as the beneficiary of the

project, aims to accomplish the following objectives:

Creating and developing a national network to support the

implementation of the Internal Market Information system

(IMI), by binding the capacity of the social partners, by creating

communicating channels and mutual consultation;

Developing and implementing common terms of recerence on

the certification standards for the Romanian workers’ skills and

the recognition of the professional qualifications of the EU

citizens;

Involving the Network members in sharing the information

mediated by the IMI platform, by providing information/data to

requests made by the organizations/associations from EU/EEA.

By making the guide for the certification and the recognition of the

CTAP expert profession (expert that certifies, technically, the quality of

the Forestry Earhworks) is subscribed to achieve the second objective

mentioned and proposes the following:

Supporting the competent authorities from Romania in their

efforts to normalize the certification and the recognition

processes for the regulated professions, that they manage, by

informing them about the practices from other EU member

states (the present guide presents the practices from other nine

state members)

Informing all the persons who have acquired qualifications in

the analyzed activity , in Romania, and want to practice that

profession in one of the nine EU countries presented in the

guide.

In order to complete this guide, a refined methodology was applied

throughout the IMI PQ NET ROMANIA project, by consulting with

competent authorities. The main information sources needed to

complete this guide and other 29 similar professions were:

- The research of the ANC experts for each country;

- Information obtained from the competent authorities from

Romania, during consultations and workshops;

- IMI statistics and the database of the regulated professions,

belonging to the European Commision 1;

- Data collected during the study visits organized in the

Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Denmark and Germany .

The structuring of the guide was based on the standard reference

terms, as a rough guide for the procedures of validating and certificating

the competences, and the recognition processes, defined during the

project, in two rounds of workshop with the members of the IMI PQ

NET Romania group, published with the 30 guides of certification and

recognition. Thus, when structuring the guide, three major aspects were

followed, in the analyzed countries compared to Romania, respectively

the procedures for validation and certification of competencies, the

recognition process for qualification and practicing the profession.

1. THE SETTLEMENT SITUATION IN ROMANIA AND IN OTHER MEMBER STATES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

The guide covers aspects of skills validation/certification,

recognition and practice of the profession known in Romania as CTAP

experct (expert that certifies, technically, the quality of the Forestry

Earhworks) compared to identical, similar or related professions in nine

EU states, namely Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Italy,

UK, Holland, Portugal, Spain.

The guide is intended to be a tool to assist the competent authorities

from Romania (in this case, the Ministry of Environment and Climate

Change), in their efforts to normalize the certification and recognition

process of the regulated professions that they manage, by informing them

about the practices from other EU member states. Also, this guide is

designed and structured so that it is an efficient way of informing all the

people that have obtained the qualification in Romania and want to

practice permanently or temporarly, in one of the nine EU member states,

presented in the guide.

At the same time, the guide has some limitations. The first one is

that it presents the situation from only nine EU member states, set for all

the developed guides. A second important limitation is that some of the

dates, in general the statistics, are available at the moment when the

guide was developed and they need to be periodically updated.

In the Annex 2 of Law 200 of May 25th, 2004 on the recognition

of diplomas and professional qualifications for regulated professions

in Romania, amended and supplemented, there are given a series of

electric professions as ship's electrician foreman, ship's electrician, sea

port foreman electrician, aspiring ship's electrician, onboard

electrician, for which the competent authority is the Ministry of

Transport. On the other hand, there are many professions for which the

competent authority is the National Authority of Regulation in the

Energy Area that, given the existing methodology, continuously

improved in recent years, can be considered regulated professions .

According to the order no. of March 13th, 2013, these professions are:

Authorized Electrical Engineering;

Project checker (in the electrical installations domain);

Technical Executer (in the electrical installations domain);

Quality technical expert and extrajudicial in the electrical

installations domain.

By analyzing the electrical professions, existing in the analyzed

countries, it was found that there is a significant number of similar

professions regulated.

Table 1.1 presents the most important professions, similar to those in

Romania, existing in the electric field, in the EU countries.

An exception from these regulated profession is the High tension

electrical cable technician / Tehnician cablu de înaltă tensiune which,

though on the list, is not regulated in any country. Some of these jobs

will be analyzed in detail in Chapters 2, 3 and 4, for the countries listed.

This analysis took into account the fact that in Romania there are many

regulated professions by the National Authority of Regulation, similar

or equivalent to those presented in Table 1.1.

Statistically speaking, in terms of the flow of migrants who left in

other countries, others than those in which they obtained the

qualification, we can determine which are the most “mobile”

professions, taking as reference a relatively long time, 1997 – 2012,

noting that the professions are classified by the number of decisions

taken on recognition of the professional qualifications. Thus, starting

from the existing data3, we can conclude the following:

1. In terms of geographical mobility. Taking into consideration the

period of time 1997 - 2012, for all the decisions taken by the resident

country, for all the EU member states and for all the professions, a

hierarchy of top 5 countries can be established (considering the country

in which the qualification was obtained) (Fig. 1.1) and the resident

country (Fig. 1.2).

In figure 1.1, it can be seen that Romania occupies the 4th place,

with 8% of all the countries in which the qualification was obtained,

with UK on the first place, with 13%.

2. Based on the existing data, if we restrict the scope of analysys to

qualifications obtained in the 9 analyzed countries + Romania, with

recognition in the EU member states, we can make a ranking of the top

5 host countries, in which the professions are regulated in each country

from the 9, where the qualifications were obtained:

For Austria (resident country), the top 5 host countries in

which the professions are regulated are: Germany with 61%, on

par with 10%, UK and Italy, and with 3%, Slovakia and the

Netherlands;

For the Czech Republic: 28% UK, 18% Germany, 16% Austria,

13% Slovakia and with 5% Ireland;

For Denmark: 44% Sweden, 28% UK, 10% Germany, 4% the

Netherlands, 3% Spain;

3. Although the number of the IMI recognizing decisions is not as

high as in other professions (nurses, doctors etc.), in the forest area there

is a significant number of decisions, that will be discussed in chapter 3,

for each country and for each professions, trying to emphasize the

degree of compatibility of migrants comning from Romania, with the

recognition requirements of each country.

4. In the case of the electrical professions, the most important

statistics, on generic categories of professions, can be obtained

considering the top five countries where the migrants have obtained

professional qualifications (Fig. 1.3, 1.5 and 1.7) and the top 5 countries

in which the qualification has been recognized(fig. 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8).

2. THE SKILLS VALIDATION/CERTIFICATION PROCEDURES

2.1. Skills validation/certification of the profession as an electrician in ROMANIA

In Romania , for the electricians who design, construct , verify and

operate electric power system installations, the competent authority is

National Authority of Regulation, who are authorized under Ord

11/2013 - "The Approval of the Regulation for licensing the electricians,

projects checkers, the ones responsible for implementing the techniques

and the Quality technical expert and extrajudicial in the electrical

installations domain", published in the Official Gazette no.

152/21.03.2013 . For the four categories of professions, the order

establishes the procedure for authorization, and also the switching to a

higher or different degree / type, based on the examination procedures

for organizing and conducting the authorization examination, the re-

authorization procedure for the electricians who hold or have held badge

issued by the competent authority, field of competencies , the rights and

obligations of authorized persons and the suspenion conditions of or the

withdrawal of authorization, namely sanctions, both for the Romaian

and foreign individuals, requesting authorization to conduct business in

Romania.

The occupational categories in the electric field are similar to the

ones in Italy (see 2.2). Moreover, there were no reported problems on

recognition in this area between the two countries. Thus, in Romania the

certified electricians to design / execute / verify the electrical

installations connected to the National Power System (NPS) may have,

where appropriate, authorization levels I, II, III and IV. For each of

these degrees, there are defined two types of authorization: authorization

type for electrical installation design and certification of type B, for

executing electrical installations.

For the Ist grade there are not provided 2 types of authorization,

given the qualifications level required by art. 30 of the Regulation -

vocational school or training course; these qualifications confers to the

2.2. Skills validation/certification of the profession as an electrician in ITALY

For traditional and historical reasons, in Italy, a wide range of

professions in engineering and other technical professions are

administered by the Ministry of Justice, which has been along the time

the promoter of many legal acts in various fields. Thus, in Italy, the

engineering profession is a regulated one, but not all the graduates of

high technical education get the title of an engineer. For example,

university graduates from the electrical domain do not get the title of

engineer. In Romania, the engineering profession is not regulated, but

the formation is regulated. The person follows a study course of at least

four years, followed by a bachelor's degree.

An important difference towards Romania is the fact that, in Italy,

the Autorita per L’Energia Elettrica e il Gas - AEEG (similar to the

National Regulatory Authority in the Energy domain - NARE in

Romania) has no powers of competent authority on training and / or

qualification recognition, but only on the energy market regulation. The

professions that in Romania are managed by NARE (the electricity and

gas domains) are regulated in Italy by other ministries, primarily, the

Ministry of Economic Development (tab. 2.1).

plumbers; Installazione impianti di trasporto del gas/ Gas transmission

systems plumbers; etc. are responsible for the overall technical

occupation, that must be binding in any company. The CEI 11-27 norm

regulates the nomination of the persons responsible (il Responsabile

dell’Impianto - RI, Preposto ai Lavori - PL). For example, every hair

or cosmetics salon in Italy, there must be a technical manager. Technical

Officer Qualification Hair Stylist is released in Italy by the region, based

on training, courses or extra practice. Training can be of different

durations, depending on how much time the person has been working in

the field. It is taken into account the skills acquired in informal and non

- formal framework and longer courses are organized for people who

have no experience. At the end, an exam is sustained, after which the

person is entitled. A document that will prove the skills gained will be

issued by the regional authority, and with this document, the person can

open a salon autonomously, can have employees, can work

independently or work as an employee in a salon.

In Italy, the CEI 11-27 Norm presents the method of naming of the

person responsible with the electrical installation (il Responsabile

dell’Impianto - RI) and of the person responsible with leading the work

activity (il Preposto ai Lavori - PL), who have established specific roles

and responsibilities, and also the conditions of formation of 'superiors'

and 'supervisors' in this area, owners of plant and workers, including

occupational safety rules.

Training involves the following curriculum:

- Legislative acts and regulations on electrical safety;

- The CEI EN 50110-1 Norm - ”Making Electrical installation ” and

CEI 11-27 Norm – “Electrical installation work”:

Professional profiles of electricians ;

Criteria for the award of the expert qualifications (PES - Persona

design, maintenance and verification of electrical installations, electrical

engineering graduates, graduates of special courses "Formare

Formatori” and registered in the electrical registers.

The CEI 11-27 Norm divides the specialists in the electrical

instalation domain, and the training courses, in four categories, as

follows: 1A, 2A, 1B şi 2B. Levels 1A and 2A are dedicated to the

responsibles with the development of the installations and managing of

works and have the programs mentioned above. For levels 1B and 2B,

dedicated to operators, the curricula, in accordance with CEI 11-27, is as

institute, an "individual case procedure" is triggered (Individual Case

Procedure - ICP), in which the members will assess the applicant's

career and training in relation to a set of standard criteria for the

classification of engineer. Depending on the situation, the members may

request for additional training courses for the applicant.

If these steps are successfully terminated, the next step is an

interview, in order to establish the professional development

(Professional Development Review - Interview PDR). If this

professional assessment was carried out by a similar organization or one

approved by the Energy Institute, the applicant will no longer have to

interview. Based on this interview a report will be submitted to the

members of the institute, who will make a recommendation to the Board

of the the Energy Institute. This council confirmes the result and gives

Chartered Energy Engineer qualification.

There are five skills categories and performance standars, detailed in

the Energy Institute Member Guide8, as follows:

A. Using a combination of engineering knowledge and skills, general

and specialized, in order to optimize the application and

technologies;

B. Apply appropriate theoretical and practical methods for analyzing

and solving engineering problems;

C. Technical and commercial leadership;

D. Interpersonal skills (professional communication, submitting

proposals, holding discussions and use feedback to improve

proposals);

E. personal commitment for professional standards, awareness of

obligations to the profession, to society and to the environment.

Akkreditierungsrat is to accredit the specific organizations that are

evaluating the studying programs. Akkreditierungsrat has 17 members,

reprezentând statele federale, instituţiile de învăţământ superior,

students, employers, employees and, also, international representatives.

Only under exceptional conditions, Akkreditierungsrat can evaluate the

studying programs.

The skills validation/certification methodology for Elektrotechniker

For the electricians with secondary education, the training is done by

dual system (theoretical and apprenticeship in a company) and lasts three

years. To start a business in this area, it is required passing the

apprenticeship (Gesellenprüfung), plus 6 years of practice, or promoting the

master’s degree ("Meisterprüfung"). The needed examination

(Meisterprüfung) to run a business include its registeration (Eintragung în

mor Handwerksrolle).

The activities to achieve the electrical plumbing are exclusively

reserved to the licensed electricians.

3. THE QUALIFICATION RECOGNITION PROCEDURES IN OTHER EU MEMBER STATES

3.1. General items

Pentru recunoaşterea calificărilor profesionale conform Directivei

2005/36/CE există trei sisteme de recunoaştere, respectiv:

For the recognition of the professional qualifications under the

2005/36/EC Directive, there are three recognition systems, namely:

The automatic recognition system, based on the preventive

harmonization of the training and provides automatic

recognition, applicable to certain professions such as nursing,

dental, veterinary, midwife, architect, pharmacist etc.

The General System of Recognition, based on mutual trust

between the member states, applicable to a large number of

professions, that may be different in the member states. It

applies in the case where the profession is regulated in the

resident country and if the migrant has pursuited or is entitled to

practice the resident country. In this system, the recognition is

not automatic, but it is based on a comparison of training

courses - provided in the two countries and the possibility, if

differences exist, to impose compensatory measures.

Recognition of proffesional experience Annex 4, in which the

recognition is based on the experience gained in the resident

country. The system applies to hand-made, commercial or

industrial type professions, listed in Annex IV of the

2005/36/EC Directive, and provides automatic recognition if

they meet the conditions laid down for each professional

category.

For the analyzed profession in the present guide, the recognition is made

through the General System of Recognition, on which there are the

following possible decisions (Positive – General System of Recognition

(without compensatory measures), Negative – General System of

In the case of negative decisions, the applicant can appeal in court,

through the SOLVIT system.

For the recognition by the General System, the request is addressed

to the Competent Authority from the resident country, mentioned in

chapter 2, for each profession and for each country. This request must

be sent with a series of documents and certifications listed in Annex VII

of the 2005/36/EC Directive.

Usually, the requested documents in the analyzed countries for the

EU citizens that are seeking for recognition are:

1. Proof of citizenship, usually through a copy of identity card or

passport;

2. Certificate of professional competence or qualifications, which

provides access to the profession (where the profession is regulated

in the resident country);

3. A certified copy of some specific documents that are requested for

the profession concerned, indicating the exams needed to determine

the possible existence of significant difference towards the resident

country;

4. Other certificates, diplomas, etc.. relevant to the profession

5. A certified copy of the submission to the Profession Register of the

country in which the title was obtained, if applicable;

6. A certificate stating that there are no criminal or professional

obstacles in the pursuit of the profession, issued by the competent

authority of the resident country;

In the situation of providing service abroad, occasionally /

temporarly, the individuals established in the member states, can

carry out design / execution work of electrical installations, with the

authorization granted in the resident member state of origin, sending

to NARE a copy of the authorization, including an informal

Germany adopted, on April 1st, 2012, the “Recognition Act”

18.

Before this date there was no standard procedure for the professional

qualification recognition acquired abroad, although almost three million

persons with a professional qualification acquired abroad live and work

in Germany. Today, many people from other countries work in

Germany on occupations that are not consistent with their skill level.

Because the German economy is dependent on skilled workers, the

German government enacted the Law for improving the assessment

and recognition of foreign qualifications, also known as the Law on

recognition or the Recognition Act.

This helps to equate the procedures for the professional

qualifications and supports the skilled migrants and skilled foreign

workers on the labour market in Germany.

Germany has no central organization, that is responsible for all the

foreign requests of the professional qualification recognition. The

responsible authorities are available in every land.

The Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training has

created a portal for recognition process in Germany, on the website of

the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, to help individuals in

seeking foreign recognition of their professional qualifications in

finding an authority to investigate the case and provide prompt answers

to their questions about the procedure of recognition. The portal is

aimed not only for the immigrants who already live in Germany and

have gained professional qualifications abroad, but also for the skilled

workers from other countries, who are interested in working in

Germany. The portal also helps the staff who advises individuals who

are seeking for the recognition of qualifications acquired abroad.

This portal 19

directs people who are seeking the recognition of a

certificate or a diploma by an authority that is responsible for assessing

those skills and provide important information on the laws and

regulations underlying the recognition of foreign qualifications

procedures. In addition, the portal provides tips and information on

career guidance.

If one of the qualifications was obtained abroad, the diploma’s

equivalent can be checked with the German titles, that will give the right

to practice without a title granted, under the Law of determining

professional qualifications – Berufsqualifikationsfeststellungsgesetz/

Professional qualification determination Act (BQFG)20

.

The access to this procedure may vary, depending on the special

requirement of the regulated professions. In some cases, there are no

procedures in place to assess qualifications from third countries. In the

base of the BQFG law, a request can be submitted by any person who:

Has the professional qualifications obtained in a EU/EEA country;

Intents to practice paid employment in Germany.

The procedure is not available for the unskilled or semiskilled

persons, who don’t have the professional qualifications.

Responsible authorities

The Chambers of Commerce and Industry, who are primarily

responsible for considering the equivalence training in the dual

system and the central authority for industry and commerce:

IHK FOSA (Approval of Foreign Skills).

The responsibility in the regulated professions domain is based

on the specialized laws and regulations of each Land.

The procedure compares foreign qualifications, with a similar

German occupation;

The competent authority shall consider whether there are

fundamental differences between foreign qualifications and the

German professional qualifications;

Professional experience acquired in Germany or abroad can also

be taken into account in addition to training;

If it is not possible to provide adequate evidence of

qualifications, an analysis can be performed to determine the

qualifications of professional skills (eg, technical discussions and work sample);

The procedure is the subject to a fee. The amount is based on

the tax table of the authority and depends on the cost and effort

involved in implementing the procedure. The responsible

authority may provide accurate information regarding the tax.

Possible results

If the examination is positive, the authority issues an

equivalence certificate in unregulated professions. This has the

same legal consequences as a German professional

qualification. There is a certificate of the German examination.

The procedure is a prerequisite for access to employment in

regulated professions;

When there are considerable differences between foreign

qualifications and German skills, the following distinctions

must be implemented:

- In the case of training occupations, the competent

authority describes the existing professional qualifications

and describes the differences between these and the

German ones. This will help when applying for jobs and

make it possible to obtain additional qualifications, if

necessary;

- In the case of regulated professions, there may required an

adaptation measure (test or adaptation period) in order to

achieve the equivalence. The compensatory measures vary

according to the individual special laws. The responsible

authority may provide information on how accurate.

Documents required for applying

Table with an overview, in German, of the training plan, and

any paid employment so far; Proof of identity (copy of identity card or passport);

Proof of professional qualifications;

Evidence of relevant work experience;

Other competence certificates;

A declaration that no application for the request of equivalence

has been made in the past;

Proof that the applicant intends to work in Germany (does not

apply for EU / EEA / Switzerland and persons residing in the

EU / EEA / Switzerland).

The responsible authority may require certified copies or originals. In

some cases, the authority may accept simple copies of the documents.

The documents must be translated into German. Translations will be

prepared by the public appointed and sworn interpreters, translators in

Germany or abroad. The competent authority may waive the need for

translation.

The length of the procedure

The responsible authority begins evaluating the equivalence

immediately after all the necessary documents are received.

From December 1st, 2012, the procedure should not take more

than three months. In difficult cases, the decision period may be

extended once, for good reasons.

The decision-making period starts with the receipt of all

required documents.

3.11. The SOLVIT system

The SOLVIT system is a problem-solving network, in which the EU

member states work together to solve the problems resulting from

improper application of the law by the public authorities. Among the

areas in which the issue frequency is high and there are complaints to be

dealt by SOLVIT, there is also the professional recognition of

qualifications and diplomas, along with other areas such as access to

education, residence permits, voting rights, social security, free

movement of capital and payments etc.

In each EU member state there is a SOLVIT center, that provides

these services, free of charge. For the analyzed countries and for

Romania, the data regarding the SOLVIT centres are presented in Table

3.1.

The complaints can be submitted on-line, on the documents

available on the SOLVIT websites from each country (Table 3.1). Any

complaint through SOLVIT implies four stages to resolution:

the case is accepted, the legal base is being checked, if the

documents that were included in the base by the origin center are

not sufficient, additional documents are required;

obtaining the solution: the competent authority that is involved

in the case is contacted and it cooperates in order to obtain a

solution that is a fair, in accordance to European legislation;

solution proposal (implemented or not) – the solution must be

real, practical and in accordance to European legislation;

Monitoring the implementation of the applicant's proposal to

solve the case.

SOLVIT potential is still insufficiently exploited as a problem solving key

instrument at a national/European level, partially because of the

insufficient staff from different SOLVIT centers and also because of the

insufficient information received by the European citizens regarding the

competencies of these centers.

4. THE PURSUIT OF THE FORESTRY PROFESSIONS IN THE ANALYZED COUNTRIES

4.1. The pursuit of the electrical professions in Romania

In Romania, the professional pursuit from the electrical domain is

regulated under the Ord 11/2013 - "Regulation Approval for licensing

electricians, project checkers, technical executer and quality technical

expert and extrajudicial in the electrical installations domain” published

in the Official Gazette no.152/21.03.2013. The most important

provisions concerning the pursuit of the four categories of occupations,

covered by this order, are as follows.

Electrical Contractors have the right to pursuit activities according

to their skills, mentioned in article 35:

expired, which is published and regularly updated on the website

of the competent authority.

4.2. The pursuit of similar profession in the analyzed EU countries

In Italia the pursuit of the professions in the electrical area is

compliant to some specific regional and autonomous provinces

regulations.

The professions from the Installazione impianti elettrici categories ,

in which we also find the Impiantista/ Electrician profession, which are

responsible for the overall technical occupation that should be

mandatory in any company, in which there is work with electrical

appliances. The CEI 11-27 Norm regulates the appointment of persons

(il Responsabile dell’Impianto - RI, Preposto ai Lavori - PL).

For pursuing in Spain as a Ingeniero de Construcción y

Electricidad/ Electromechanical engineer, there is the legal obligation

this profession is available for all those who practice it, in various types,

either free or in private entities when using this title.

In the UK for pursuing one of the analyzed professions, it is

mandatory to become a member of a professional organization.

So, for pursuing the Chartered Energy Engineer profession, the

additional condition to become a member of the Energy Institute23

is

mandatory, which is the competent authority in the recognition process,

and to have at least five years of experience in the area.

For the Electrical and computer (technology) engineer profession,

it is mandatory to become a member of the Engineering and Technology

Institution.

In Portugal, in order to pursue the Engenheiro técnico de energia e

sistemas de potência/ Energy engineer and Engenheiro electrotécnico/ Electromechanical, it is mandatory to become a member of the Order of

Engineers in Portugal/Ordem dos Engenheiros24

.

According to the rules of operation from this Order, annually, the

professional progress for each member can be assessed, at his request

(art. 16), followed by the appropriate update of the degree or skill. Also,

once in seven years the professional progress is reviewed and certified

from the academic level E1 (Members with a degree in engineering -

EQF level 6), the E2 (Members with master's degree in engineering -

EQF level 7) and then E3 (Members with PhD in engineering - EQF

level 8) (art. 17).

On the other hand, each member can traverse three levels of

professional qualifications for receiving membership, a Senior Member

and the last step, Advisor Member.

least 5 years of experience and at least 3 recommendations from senior

years as a senior member or 15 years as a member or 20 years of

professional experience in the field, plus three recommendations from

other members councilors.

All fees are established and maintained by the National Board of

In the other countries, to pursue the analyzed professions in chapters

3 and 4, there are no special conditions.

5. CONCLUSIONS

The present guide covers aspects of skills validation / certification,

recognition and pursuit of the profession in Romaniain the electrical

domain, compared with identical, similar, homologous or compatible

professions from nein EU member states, namely Austria, Czech

Republic, Denmark, Germany, Italy, UK, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain.

These professions are discussed in detail in Chapters 2, 3 and 4, for

the countries listed. This analysis took into account the fact that in

Romania, the professions in the electrical domain are regulated by

NARE and there have been identified the competent authorities for each

country, for each of the analyzed profession.

Even if in Italy, Autorita per L’Energia Elettrica e il Gas - AEEG

(which is similar to NARE in Romania) does not have any

responsability as a competent authority regarding training and / or

qualification recoognition, but only to regulate the energy market, in the

case of professions from this country, there has been identified a large

number of similarity to those in Romania in terms of types and

authorizations degrees.

Achieving the certification and qualification recognition guide in the

electrical domain, primarily, seeks to be a useful tool to inform all

persons who may be in the situation:

To follow a training program in one of the analyzed countries,

at the end of which is to pursue a similar profession in the

electrical domain;

Has a similar qualification to the one from Romania and wants

to want to be recognized and to practice in the analyzed

countries, temporarly or ocasionally;

After recognition in one of the analyzed countries, they want to

know the regulations and obligations regarding the pursuit of

the profession, the professional conduct and ethics in the field,

the membership in certain professional organizations etc.

Equally important, the guide aims to support the competent

authorities of Romania in its efforts to standardize the certification and

recognition of regulated professions that they manage, by informing

them about the practices of other EU member states.

The main limitations of the guide are that it only deals with the

situation of 9 EU countries, set for all the developed guidelines and

some information, generally the statistics, are available when

developing guidelines and should be updated regularly.

Although the IMI number of recognition decisions is not as high as

in other professions (nurses, doctors, etc..), in the electric field there is

still a significant number of decisions that are discussed in Chapter 3,

for each country and for each profession, especially in regards to Austria

where the profession Elektrotechnik / Electrical Engineer has 495

recognition decisions (and only 2 – negative! for Romania) and 276

temporary mobility decisions (none for Romania). In other countries,

such as, for example Italy there is a greater number of positive decisions

(15 decisions, out of which 11 were positive).

In Chapter 4, there are highlighted the professions whose pursuit is

the subject to certain membership organizations, colleges, orders etc.
