"Global competition and the tendency towards a knowledge-based economy are creating new challenges for skills development and education. The current directive includes rules for the mutual recognition of professional qualifications in EU Member States covering 800 regulated categories of professions and automatic recognition for seven sectoral professions: architect, dentist, doctor, midwife, nurse, pharmacist and veterinary surgeon. The European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training estimates that demand for highly skilled workers will rise by over 16 million jobs in the European Union by 2020. This is why I support continuous professional development, lifelong learning and the recommendation for Member States to review and increase the minimum duration of vocational training courses.
I think that dialogue and exchanges of information within each individual profession must be increased and that cooperation between the competent authorities and National Contact Points must be improved, at both national level and between Member States. I call on Member States to exchange general information about national processes and education requirements and to organise exchanges of best practices in order to guarantee service quality. Public authorities and social partners must engage in a structured dialogue in order to increase the professional integration of young people."@en1
