The Committee held a second consideration of the amendments tabled to the draft Report and the Rapporteur presented some of the interim results of the discussions with the shadow Rapporteurs. Shadow Rapporteurs elaborated on the particularities regarding the recognition of the qualifications of nurses and notaries, the dual education systems and the role of assistance centres in the recognition process. Further interventions focussed on the modalities of the alert mechanism for health professionals, the deadlines concerning tacit authorization and the costs of language checks to applicants. The compromise amendments are scheduled for discussion on January 10. The vote in IMCO is foreseen to take place on January 23.
