Made 19th May 2008
Laid before Parliament 27th May 2008
Coming into force 20th June 2008
The Secretary of State is designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 , in relation to the recognition of higher-education diplomas, formal qualifications, or experience in the occupation, required for the pursuit of professions or occupations.
She makes the following Regulations under the powers conferred by that section, as read with paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the 1972 Act.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in that section and it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for the references to an Annex to Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7th September 2005 on the recognition of professional qualifications to be construed as references to the Annex as amended from time to time.
