Reforming regulation of professions: Results of mutual evaluation and way forward
On 18 May 2016, the European Commission will host a conference on the results of the mutual evaluation of regulated professions. The conference will focus on the work EU countries have done in the last two years to review their national regulation and on what they propose in terms of regulatory reform. Stakeholders, including national authorities and professional organisations, will discuss the mutual evaluation of regulated professions, its results and national action plans to address outdated or disproportionate regulation. Stakeholders will also have the opportunity to discuss the follow-up measures to improve access to professions announced by the European Commission in the Single Market Strategy last October.28 September 2016
