The Commission presented a report on the exercise of the power to adopt delegated acts conferred on the Commission pursuant to Directive 2013/55/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications and Regulation (EU) No 1024/2012 on administrative cooperation through the Internal Market information System ('the IMI Regulation').
Directive 2005/36/EC, as amended by Directive 2013/55/EU, confers the power on the Commission to adopt delegated acts concerning the matters listed therein for a period of five years from 17 January 2014. The Commission is required to report on the exercise of that delegation at the latest nine months before the end of the five-year period, and accordingly, the Commission presents this report.
Delegated powers: the Commission has exercised the following delegated powers since January 2014: two Commission Delegated Decisions have been adopted amending Annex V to Directive
2005/36/EC as regards evidence of formal qualifications. These are:
- Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2016/790 of 13 January 2016 amending Annex V to Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the evidence of formal qualifications and the titles of training courses; and
- Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2017/2113 of 11 September 2017 amending Annex V to Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards evidence of formal qualifications and the titles of training courses
The Group of Coordinators on the recognition of professional qualifications was involved in the preparation of the acts and its observations were taken into consideration when preparing the final versions of delegated acts.
Neither the European Parliament nor the Council objected to either of the delegated acts.
Possible future delegated acts: the Commission considers that it has exercised the delegated powers conferred upon it within the limits and in respect of the conditions laid down in the legislation and sees the need to extend the empowerments because further delegated acts amending amongst others Annex V of Directive 2005/36/EC as regards evidence of formal qualifications will be required in the future. In this respect, the Commission notes that it is working on a possible delegated Regulation establishing a common training test for ski instructors under the Directive.
