Norway is required to implement the EU Professional Qualification Directive (Directive 2005/36 / EC), with subsequent amendments, and in particular amending Directive 2013/55 / EU. The legislative proposal incorporates the EU Professional Qualification Directive (Directive 2005/36 / EC), with subsequent amendments, and in particular amending Directive 2013/55 / EU.
Today, the Professional Qualifications Directive has been implemented in 28 different regulations. The new act will simplify the implementation of the Directive in Norway.
The act applies to all occupations covered by the Professional Qualifications Directive, except for health and animal health personnel. For these professions, the Ministry of Health and Care and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food will implement the provisions of the amending directive in existing regulations for their sectors.
