DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE No 84/2002
of 25 June 2002
amending Annex VII (Mutual recognition of professional qualifications) to the EEA Agreement
THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE,
Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, as amended by the Protocol adjusting the Agreement on the European Economic Area, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’, and in particular 98 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex VII to the Agreement was amended by Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 55/2001 of 18 May 2001 1.
(2) The European Commission, in its Communication to the European Parliament and the Council on the SLIM initiative, undertook to present proposals aimed at simplifying the updating of the lists of qualifications eligible for automatic recognition; as Council Directive 93/16/EEC of 5 April 1993 to facilitate the free movement of doctors and the mutual recognition of their diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications2 provided for a simple procedure in the case of general practitioners’ qualifications, and as experience had shown that the procedure afforded sufficient legal certainty, it was considered desirable to extend that procedure to qualifications held by nurses responsible for general care, dental practitioners, veterinary surgeons, midwives, pharmacists and doctors.
(3) Directive 2001/19/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 May 2001 amending Council Directives 89/48/EEC and 92/51/EEC on the general system for the recognition of professional qualifications and Council Directives 77/452/EEC, 77/453/EEC, 78/686/EEC, 78/687/EEC, 78/1026/EEC, 78/1027/EEC, 80/154/EEC, 80/155/EEC, 85/384/EEC, 85/432/EEC, 85/433/EEC and 93/16/EEC concerning the profession of nurse responsible for general care, dental practitioner, veterinary surgeon, midwife, architect, pharmacist and doctor3 is to be incorporated into the Agreement.
(4) Certain adaptations made by Chapter XI.D.I of Annex I to the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden and the adjustments to the Treaties on which the European Union is founded4 are to be incorporated into the Agreement,
