Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications Directive

The Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications Directive allows qualified professionals, such as doctors, engineers, or lawyers, to have their credentials recognized across different EU countries. This means if someone is licensed in one member state, they can more easily work in another without repeating all the training or exams. It promotes mobility and helps professionals serve in different European countries while maintaining high standards. The directive also sets rules to ensure these qualifications are valid and comparable, facilitating smoother workforce movement and addressing labor shortages across the EU.
