DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE

No 142/2007

of 26 October 2007

amending Annex VII (Mutual recognition of professional qualifications) and Protocol 37 to the EEA Agreement

THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, as amended by the Protocol adjusting the Agreement on the European Economic Area, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’, and in particular Article 98 and Article 101 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	Annex VII to the Agreement was amended by Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 43/2005 of 11 March 2005 (1).

(2)	Protocol 37 to the Agreement was amended by Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 115/2007 of 28 September 2007 (2).

(3)	Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 September 2005 on the recognition of professional qualifications (3) is to be incorporated into the Agreement.

(4)

Council Directive 2006/100/EC of 20 November 2006 adapting Certain Directives in the field of free movement of persons, by reason of accession of Bulgaria and Romania (4) was incorporated into the Agreement by Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 132/2007 of 26 October 2007 and therefore needs to be added as an indent to Directive 2005/36/EC.

(5)	Commission Decision 2007/172/EC of 19 March 2007 setting up the group of coordinators for the recognition of professional qualifications (5) is to be incorporated into the Agreement.

(6)

For the Agreement to function well, Protocol 37 to the Agreement is to be extended to include the group of coordinators for the recognition of professional qualifications set up by Decision 2007/172/EC, and Annex VII is to be amended in order to specify the procedures for association with this group.

(7)

Directive 2005/36/EC repeals, with effect from 20 October 2007, Council Directives 77/452/EEC (6), 77/453/EEC (7), 78/686/EEC (8), 78/687/EEC (9), 78/1026/EEC (10), 78/1027/EEC (11), 80/154/EEC (12), 80/155/EEC (13), 85/384/EEC (14), 85/432/EEC (15), 85/433/EEC (16), 89/48/EEC (17), 92/51/EEC (18), 93/16/EEC (19) and Directive 1999/42/EC (20) of the European Parliament and of the Council, which are incorporated into the Agreement and which are consequently to be repealed under the Agreement with effect from 20 October 2007.

(8)	Council Directive 81/1057/EEC (21), which is incorporated into the Agreement, becomes devoid of purpose and is consequently to be repealed under the Agreement with effect from 20 October 2007.

(9)	Council Decision 85/368/EEC (22) and most acts under the heading ‘Acts of which the Contracting Parties shall take note’ are obsolete and are consequently to be repealed under the Agreement with effect from 20 October 2007,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
