The Proportionality Test

• Better application of EU rules

• The EU does not regulate professions

since it’s MS prerogative (new + reforms)

• Streamlining the proportionality test

• All this leads to yet another regulation

The Proportionality Test

• New regulation under discussion (EP)

– Ex-ante check (quantitative / qualitative)

Risks, Scope, Qualification, Econ. impact

– Information consultation of stakeholders

– Exchange of information between MS

Competent Authorities

IMCO’s report, 23 June 17

• Internal Market and Consumer Protection

– Excluding healthcare services

– Concentrate on other sectors against gold-

plating practices

– No mandatory consultation independent

scrutiny body

– Clarification of the reasons of public interest

– Equal information stakeholders

– Possibility for wider consultation

No risks in Surveying?

Reasoned opinions

• Reasoned opinions (DE, AT, FR)

– …

– Term regulated profession to clarify

– New or amended provisions well described

– The exchange of best practices between MS

to be encouraged

– Economic impact on competition and free

movement to be considered

ECOSOC (EESC) opinion

• The package would improve the national

proportionality check

• However: it requires the cooperation

of Member States Authorities and

professional organisations

• The proportionality test should not be

mandatory but offered as a service for

national regulators
