European Parliament Alerts from the Internal Market and Consumer Protection committee

Highlights - Services package: adoption of 3 draft reports - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection 29-11-2017 09:26 AM CET On 4 December IMCO is taking decisions on an important part of the Services Package with its votes on the enforcement of the Directive 2006/123/EC on services in the internal market, laying down a notification procedure for authorisation schemes and requirements related to services, on the Proportionality Test Directive and on the Report on the need for reforms in professional services. The 243 amendments tabled to the report on Notifications in Services largely focus on clarification of the notification obligation, consultation process on the notified measures, and on balancing of the Commission's powers with regard to Member States. The Report on the need for reforms in professional services focusses on the need to ensure transparent, non-discriminatory and proportionate regulation of professions. The compromises on the Proportionality test directive strike the balance between the freedom of movement and consumer choice and the need to regulate professions in a non-discriminatory and proportionate way.
