Recognition of qualifications and provision of a cross-border service

A person who has obtained professional qualifications in his or her own country and wants to start working in a regulated profession in the host country (e.g. in Poland) needs official recognition by the country concerned. Recognition of professional qualifications consists in checking the level of education and qualifications which entitle the service provider to exercise the profession in the country in which it was obtained.

The provision of a cross-border service consists in temporary and occasional exercise of a profession or regulated activity in the host country.

Who has the right to submit a declaration

Anyone who in his or her own country from the EU and EFTA territory performs a regulated profession or activity in accordance with the regulations, has the right to provide services in the same scope in another EU country (e.g. in Poland).
