Commission Report (2002): Czech Republic
With respect to professional qualifications obtained before harmonisation,
the Czech Republic should give priority to introducing measures to ensure
that all its professionals can, from accession, meet the requirements laid
down by the directives. This priority has not yet been met. The Czech
Republic continues to develop legislation and adjust training to complete
alignment of mutual recognition of professional qualifications and diplomas.
Further efforts are needed to align training and education programmes.
Despite preparatory work, the required administrative structures are not yet
all in place. The Action Plan includes the development of a National Centre
for Recognition of Professional Qualifications as a national co-ordinator, to
include existing relevant bodies. It has not yet been established.
Implementation of measures for the reinforcement of social-security
co-ordination is ongoing, including the restructuring, training and
recruitment of additional staff foreseen in the Action Plan. However, a
considerable number of extra staff is still needed, as are significant
efforts to prepare municipal offices for their increased responsibilities.
The Accession Partnership priorities in the area of free movement of persons
have been met to a limited extent. Implementation of some measures under the
Action Plan has been delayed.
