Automatic recognition based on professional experience (mainly crafts, industry and commerce) 3. General system of mutual recognition (primary or subsidiary application) 3

4 GENERAL SYSTEM OF RECOGNITION Permanent establishment Comparison between migrant's qualifications and qualifications required in the host MS 5 levels of qualifications used In case of substantial differences: compensatory measures (adaptation period or aptitude test) 2 years of experience required if profession not regulated in home MS Strict deadlines for MS (4 months) 4

5 Temporary provision of services Assessment of the temporary and occasional nature on a case by case basis Principle of free and immediate access to the profession if: Legal establishment in a MS 2 years experience if profession not regulated in the MS of establishment Possibility for host MS to request a prior declaration and accompanying documents 5
