Recital 3
(3) In order to promote the free movement of professionals, while ensuring a more efficient and transparent recognition of qualifications, it is necessary to provide for a European Professional Card. The European Professional Card should strictly be used as a tool to recognise professional qualifications in another Member State, in order to use the full potential of mobility in the single market, and not as a means to regulate and restrict how a profession is qualified. In particular that card is necessary to facilitate temporary mobility and recognition under the automatic recognition system, as well as to promote a simplified recognition process under the general system. The card should be issued upon request from a professional and after submission of necessary documents and completion of related review and verification procedures by the competent authorities. The functioning of the card should be supported by the Internal Market Information System (IMI) established by Regulation (EU) No […] on administrative cooperation through the Internal Market Information System23 . This mechanism should help enhance synergies and trust among competent authorities, while at the same time eliminating duplication of administrative work for the authorities and creating more transparency and certainty for professionals. The process for the application and issuing of the card should be clearly structured and incorporate safeguards and the corresponding rights of appeal for the applicant. The card and the related workflow within IMI should ensure the integrity, authenticity and confidentiality of the data stored and avoid unlawful and unauthorised access to information contained therein.

Article 4a – paragraph 6
6. The Commission shall adopt implementing acts specifying European Professional Cards for specific professions, establishing the format of the European Professional Card, the translations necessary to support any application for issuing a European Professional Card and details for the assessment of applications, taking into account the particularities of each profession concerned. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the advisory procedure referred to in Article 58. This procedure should notably ensure that the European Professional Card will primarily focus on facilitating and increasing mobility of professionals, regardless if they are regulated or not, and it should in particular avoid that any additional regulatory and administrative barriers are created.
