Written Question

Professions: Qualifications

Monday 18th February 2019

Asked by: John Baron (Conservative - Basildon and Billericay)

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether professional qualifications and registrations will continue to be mutually recognised between the UK and the EU in the event that the UK leaves the EU with no deal.

Answered by Lord Harrington of Watford

In the event that the UK leaves the EU with no deal, professionals from the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland who have had their qualifications formally recognised in the UK before exit will continue to be able to rely on those recognition decisions to practice their profession in the UK. Similarly, recognition decisions for UK professional qualifications awarded in the EEA and Switzerland before exit will remain valid.

In the event that the UK leaves the EU with no deal, new applications for recognition of EEA and Swiss qualifications in the UK made after exit could be recognised if the qualifications are of an equivalent standard to UK qualifications in scope, content and level. UK nationals seeking recognition to practice regulated professions in the EU would have to check the national policies and rules of the relevant Member State in which they intend to practice.
