UK-EU TCA: Professional Qualifications

The House of Commons Library has recently published a briefing explaining what has changed for UK qualified professionals (including lawyers) who seek to practice in the EU market and vice versa. It summarises the provisions in the UK and EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) under which the UK and EU can come to sector-by-sector mutual recognition arrangements in the future.

Recognition of professional qualification is a system which allows professionals qualified in one country to practice in another, with limited administrative requirements and without having to requalify. This is particularly relevant for regulated professions, such as medics, architects, lawyers or statutory auditors who seek to establish in, or export their services to, another country.

From 1 January 2021, EU rules with regard to professional qualifications no longer apply to the United Kingdom, and mutual recognition of professional qualifications has ended. UK qualified workers wishing to work in the EU have to meet the qualification requirements of each individual EU Member State, i.e. the principle of “host-country rules” applies. The same is true for EU qualified workers seeking recognition of their qualifications in the UK: they have to comply with UK rules on professional qualifications.

BILA Award 2021

We are pleased to present the BILA Award 2021 for Italian law students. The aim of the prize is to encourage students of Italian Universities with interests in the British legal system to explore relevant themes and topics by researching, considering and developing an argument in a short essay written in English about any matter of law, in particular with regard to cross-border legal practice issues.

This year students are asked to write an essay on the subject: “No jab, no job: from employment to human rights and beyond”. The candidates are invited to compare the approach of the UK and Italy to compulsory vaccination in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, with particular focus on employment, human rights, data protection and health & safety and the challenges that it entails.
