CEPI - European Association of Real Estate Professions

CEPI is launching a new section on our website: «CEPI meets…». From now on we will regularly publish an interview with a decision maker on issues in the EU pipeline of key importance for property professionals throughout Europe. The first guest is Jürgen Tiedje, Head of Unit D4 at DG Internal Market (European Commission), dealing with professional qualifications. The 2005 Directive on the recognition of professional qualifications applies to any citizen wishing to practice his profession in a Member State other than the one in which he acquired his qualifications. Its aim is to make labour markets more flexible, further liberalise the provision of services, encourage more automatic recognition of qualifications, including those of property professionals, and simplify administrative procedures.
