The
requirements of mutual recognition vary depending on the profession and on whether
the individual wishes to:
permanently settle and practice a profession in
a host Member State (what is known as ‘establishment’) in which case
recognition is required;
Or
practice the profession on a temporary or
occasional basis in host Member State in which case the individual will need to
submit a declaration to the Designated Authority concerned.
The
regulated professions database provides information on which professions are regulated by which authority in
other Member States. You will need to
know either the name of the profession in the local language or its English
translation. This is an important tool
for those wishing to establish themselves or provide services on a temporary
basis in other Member States. Information on the database and the principles of
mutual recognition is available here.
Assistance
Requests of assistance to the MRC Unit must be sent exclusively by email to the following address: mutualrecognition.ncfhe@gov.mt. MRC unit responds within 30 working days of receiving the email. If the request is particularly complex and requires an in-depth investigation, the Unit may avail itself of a longer term, in this case a new deadline will notify to the user.
MRC Unit assistance services are free.
Appeal against the decision of the competent authority
The professional can appeal against a negative decision of the competent Authority. Each authority should indicate the appeal procedure in its legislative act and website. If no mention is made in the legislative act the professional can appeal to the Mutual Recognition of Qualifications Appeals Board.
Warrant and fees
Registration and submission of documents for the practice of the professions is managed by the competent authorities and not by MRC Unit. The competent authorities may charge fees for the services offered.
Recognition of qualification
For information regarding title study recognition kindly refer to MQRIC Unit. MRC has no authority for such procedures, and will therefore decline to answer questions linked to title study recognition.
