INTRODUCTION

The Guide for the certification of competences and the recognition of

the Vehicle Inspector profession is one of the project results of the

Competent Authorities Network for the Professional Qualifications

in Romania - IMIPQNET implemented by the Ministry of National

Education (MNE) in partnership with the National Authority for

Qualifications (NAQ) and with the Institute for Social Policies (ISP),

co-financed from the European Social Fund by the District Operational

Program for the Human Resources Development 2007 – 2013

(POSDRU).

In the project have been analyzed, together with the representatives of

the Competent Authorities, the validation and certification procedures of

the competences and the recognition processes of the qualifications for

each profession regulated in Romania highlighting the common

elements, resulting finally as the standard schema of competences

validation and certification corresponding to all regulated professions

and for the recognition process of the qualifications.

There have also been made comparative analyses between Romania and

a few of the member states (MS) of European Union (EU) regarding he

modality to obtain the qualifications, the education system and the

professional training, types of documents (diplomas, certificates,

competence certificates) that may be obtained at the training

certification, regulations regarding the validation, certification and

recognition of qualifications, professions regulated according to

directive 2005/36/CE1 regarding the recognition of professional

qualifications.

In the project have been organized study visits in MS of EU where took

part the members of the IMIPQNET work group together with the

experts of the Ministry of National Education and of National

Authorities for Qualifications.

This guide is made according to ther orientative standard reference

terms for the validation and certification procedures of the competences

and of the recognition processes for the qualifications, elaborated in the

project and validated in the working group workshops.

The elaboration of the guide for the certification and recognition of the

3. RECOGNITION PROCESSES OF THE

QUALIFICATIONS OBTAINED IN OTHER MEMBER

STATES OF EUROPEAN UNION

In order to recognize the professional qualifications the Directive

2005/36/CE presents three recognition ways by:

the automatic recogniton system appliable for the following

professions: nurse, dentist, veterinary, midwife, architect,

pharmacist and doctor;

MINISTRY OF NATIONAL

recognition general system based on mutual trust between

member states of Euopean Union, applicable for a number of

professions. In this situation the recognition is not automatic,

but it needs a comparison between the professional training

courses – stipulated in the two states, as well as the possibility

in case of "substantial differences", for compensatory measures

(capacity test or an adaptation period);

the system based on the professional experience gained in the

origin state, that applies to the artisanal, commercial or

industrial activities (listed in the Directive 2005/36/CE –

Appendix IV) and stipulates the automatic recognition if there

are fulfilled the conditions stipulated expressly for each

professional class.

From the point of view of the level of qualifications that submit to the

recognition general system, Directive 2005/36/CE regarding the

recognition of professional qualifications identifies 5 levels of

professional qualification:

competence certificate issued by a competent authority in the

origin member state origine, that certifies wither the owner

gained the general kowledge corresponding to a training at the

secondary or high-school education level, or that he attended the

professional training courses that are not the object of a

certificate or a diploma, either it passed a special examination

without prior training, or that he has a profesional experience of

three years;

certificate that corresponds to a cycle of technical or

professional secondary studies, or of a general nature,

completed by a professional training;

diploma that certifies the graduation of some training courses at

the level of secondary education level with a duration of at least

one year or of some training courses that prepair for a

comparable level of responsibilities and positions;

diploma that certifies the graduation of some training courses at

the level of secondary or universitary education with a duration

of at least three years and at most four years;

diploma that certifies the graduation of some training courses at

the level of secondary or universitary education with a duration

of at least four years.

MS of EU have been obliged to comply with the request of the Directive

2005/36/CE through its implementation in the national legislation. Thus,

the relevant information regarding the recognition procedure valid in

each MS are included in the national legislation by the implementation

of Directive 2005/36/CE and may be obtained from the National

Contact Points (National Contact Points) for the recognition of

qualifications, which all MS have been obliged to found (the contact

data are found at the link

The National Contact Point in Romania for the recognition of

diplomas/profesional qualifications obtained abroad is the Recognition

and equivalence National Centre of Diplomas -rCNRED that may be

accessed on the site: www.cnred.edu.ro.

The applicant must give the documents necessary for the recognition of

the professional qualification at the competent authority that must take a

decision in a limited term. If, according to the received documents a

positive verdict can not be given then the applicant may be imposed to

have a test.

Capacity Test may be fi applied by CA in the host MS for the

recognition are the differences from the two professional qualifications

that must be covered by compensatory measures. As the vehicle

inspector activity implies knowing in detail the light and heavy vehicles

constructions, as well as their operation principle, the capacity test that

contains questions in these fields is frequently imposed for the

recognition of the vehicle inspector qualification (table 3). CA in host

MS shall set the questions for the capacity test taking into account both

the knowledge gained by the applicant during his formal qualification,

and the ones he gained in informal or non-formal contexts, like the

situation of those that have practical experience.

The initiation of the recogniton process as well as the organization of

the capacity test may be done by the CA after the applicant proves the

payment of a tax that mustn’t be greater than the costs involved and

presented in photocopies, but there are situations in which, for

the examination for the purpose of the compliance documents

(due to the lack of administrative cooperation), the competent

authority may ask the documents in original or authenticated

photocopies (authentificated at the notary office);

documents for the recognition of the regulated profession that

the national wishes to exercise in Czech Republic. The

professional qualifications proves and/or of other competences

language, and if between the origin state and the host one is an

international treaty, like the Hague Convention between

Romania and Czech Republic (valid since 2001), then the

translation is no longer necessary. If the competent authority

questions the accuracy and authenticity of the translation or if

there was no evidence of the authenticity administratively, the

that competent authority is entitled to ask proves translated in

Czech language by one of the interpreters on the list of

experts/translators of Czech state;

the Professions regulated for which the duration of studies is of at least

3 years of high education.

The recognition of the profession is done according to the general

provisions from Law 200/2004 given the fact that OMTCT 2133/2005

has no specific provisions for the recognition process of the vehicle

inspector profession.

For the recognition profession might be necessary, according to the

situation, presenting the following documents:

a) the nationality prove (identity card copy or passport);

c) a copy of the professional competence certificate or the

qualification title that confers the access to the profession;

d) informations about the continuous professional development,

seminars and all means of training to which the applicants took

part, apart from the initial training, because the additional

training may compensate the significant differences between the

qualifications and, thus, may be avoided the application of a

compensatory measure;

f) other documents if necessary.

SOLVIT7 is a network by which are solved, without having to resort to

legal procedures, a wide range of issues by MS of EU that mutualy help

each other in solving the unwanted situations appeared by inappropriate

appling of law regarding the internal market, by the public authorities.

If the community legislation has been inappropriate applied, SOLVIT

may solve the cross-border issues appeared between an economic agent

or a citizen and a public authority.

The political fields that frequently find the solving of issues by SOLVIT

are the the following:

- professional recognition of qualifications and of diplomas;

- access to education;

- residence permits;

- right to vote;

- social security;

- employment law for a job;

- driving licences;

- registration of motor vehicles;

- frontier control;

- access on the products market;

- access on the services market;

- setting as a freelancer;

- public procurement;

- taxation;

- free movement of capitals and payments.

When a case is given to be solved by SOLVIT, the SOLVIT local centre

must verify if it is about one of the issues it may solve (eg. An

inappropriate application of the internal market rules) informing from

the available documents. Then, after the verification, the case is

registered in an electronic data base and in this way the information is

automaticaly sent to the SOLVIT centre in the other MS where the issue

in question appeared.

The term in which responsible SOLVIT centre might confirm the taking

over the case is of one week. If solving an issue involves the repeal of a

national law – and not only its application in an appropriate way – this

thing needs a greater period to answer because it is necessary of a

formal legal action.

There are also situations in which SOLVIT may take measures to

convince MS in question to give up the incorrect rules application, and

this thing might be done before that law repeal.

Between the two SOLVIT centres there is a close collaboration in

solving the appeared issues, and the “origin” SOLVIT centre has the

obligation to current inform regarding how the cases are solved.

In table 4 are given information regarding the SOLVIT National Centres

in a few MS of EU.

There is no mandatory registration of the vehicle inspector in a

professional specialty organization or in another body with the

supervisory role of the professional activity.

register or requests related to citizenship or to the applicant residence.

4.2. Exercise of the vehicle inspector profession in Netherland

In order to maintain the right to exercise the profession, the vehicle

inspectors in Netherland must attend some perfecting courses organized

at Innovam Groep (by the Examination and certification institute –

IBKI) who has the task of monitoring their activity during the validity of

the professional competence certificate.

The recertification procedure of the vehicle inspector provides the

examination only in Dutch language and, thus, a person who wishes to

recognize the qualification obtained in another MS of EU must prove

the linguistic competences (in writing and in speaking).

Even in Netherland there are no requests for an advance registration in a

register or requests related to citizenship or applicant residence.

The supervision of the technical inspectors activity and the

administrative penalties of those that are guilty about the possible

deviations at the workplace is the responsibility of RAR and the

management of the station authorized for the periodical technical

inspections of the vehicles.

During the validity of the certification of the attestation may be annualy

organized by RAR improvement courses of the professional training for

the technical inspectors, bu they are not compulsory as in the case of the

other MS of EU previously presented.

The certificated person shall receive from RAR a personalized stamp for

the respective Inspection Station that shall be used in his activity as a

technical inspector. The stamp shall be withdrown by RAR at the

expiration of the attestation certificate validity, at its cancellation or at

the termination of the activity in that station. As for the transfer to

another inspection station owned by another legal person, shall be given

by RAR a new stamp, according to a request made by the authorized

person. Technical inspectors can not have and use in the same period

of time but only one stamp.

periodical technical inspections for a period of 2 years. The cancellation

of the attestation certification of the technical inspectors is done by

RAR.

The Order that regulates the certification of the vehicle inspectors

(OMTCT 2133/2005) stipulates the deviations from the requests to

perform the activity as well as the conditions in which the attestation

certificate is cancelled.

The certification/recertification procedure of the vehicle inspector

provides an examination only in Romanian language, by imposing to

nationals to know the language (written and speaking level).

The right to exercise the profession is granted on a limited period of

time (2 years) as long as the vehicle inspector certificate is valid.

The same as for the Czech Republic and Netherland too must be

highlighted the fact that there are no requests for a registration in

advance in a register in Romania and no requests related to citizenship

or to applicant residence.

The Regulation OMTCT 2133/2005 does not contain distinct

stipulations for the access to exercise the activities of occasional and

temporary type.

CONCLUSIONS

The recognition of the vehicle inspector profession in most of MS

of EU where this profession is regulated is done according to the

recognition general system (at the first application) and/or by

proving the professional experience in the activity of technical

inspection of vehicles (heavy, light). The only country in EU in

which the recognition of the vehicle inspector profession is automatic,

after the applicant proves the professional experience, is France.

From the point of view of the activity regulation of periodic technical

inspections of vehicles (heavy and/or light) are distinguished different

levels of qualifications (and also initial trainings) imposed in MS of EU

(table 5) for the profession of vehicle inspector.

This irregularity of the qualification level is possibile due to the fact that

there is no European legislation (eg. directive) to stipulate the

harmonization of the training in this activity field.

Due to this, each Competent Authority is forced to take its own

decisions for the recognition of this qualification according to the

internal legislation (by imposing some adaptation steps, capacity tests

etc.).

The experience in the vehicle maintenance activity and/or vehicles

repairs is imposed as an access condition for the vehicle inspector

training in most of MS of EU.

The documents from the file made for the enrollment at the training

courses, as well as those necessary for the participaton at the

examination to get the professional competence certificate are mostly

the same as in the countries analyzed in this guide.

The professional competence certificates of the vehicle inspectors have

a limited validity.

In most MS of EU is imposed the continuous professional training to

maintain the right to exercise the profession of vehicle inspector.

The registration in professional associations is not compulsory in all MS

of EU: in Netherland the vehicle inspector must be part of a professional

organization Innovam Groep, in Romania and Czech Republic are not

required professional affiliations to condition the exercise of the

profession.

In all countries analyzed in this guide the Competent Authorities impose

a tax for the examination of the applicants in order to get the certificate

as vehicle inspector.

The vehicle inspectors can exercise the professional activity as person

employed at authorized stations for the periodical technical inspections

performance, this profession can not be practiced as vehicle inspector as

a freelancer.

Romania together with Czech Republic, Netherland, Slovakia, Poland,

France etc. is framed among the countries in which the vehicles technical

inspection is regulated as a distinct profession.
