INTRODUCTION The present guide is one of the results of the project called „The Network of Competent Authorities for Professional Qualifications in Romania (IMI PQ NET Romania)” implemented by the Ministry of National Education in partnership with the National Qualifications Authority and the Institute for Social Policies (IPS), co-financed by the European Social Fund through the Sectoral Operational Program Human Resources Development 2007– 2013(POSDRU).

The General Objective of the project called „The Network of Competent Authorities for Professional Qualifications in Romania (IMI PQ NET Romania)” consists in creating and consolidating the IMI Network (Internal Market Information) for the professional qualifications in Romania (IMI PQ NET), with the purpose of sustaining the CE initiative regarding the development of the System for Informing the Internal Market, the development of a common initiative in this respect, at a national level, targeting the consolidation of the social partners’ capability (agencies and governmental organizations, professional associations) to promote durable development through the creation of proper instruments and communication channels and mutual consultancy with the purpose of gaining efficient communication with the similar organizations within the European Union and the European Economic Aria (SEA), through the IMI platform.

To achieve the overall objective, MEN, as the beneficiary of the project, aims to accomplish the following objectives:  Creating and developing a national network to support the implementation of the Internal Market Information system (IMI), by binding the capacity of the social partners, by creating communicating channels and mutual consultation;

Developing and implementing common terms of recerence on the certification standards for the Romanian workers’ skills and the recognition of the professional qualifications of the EU citizens; Involving the Network members in sharing the information mediated by the IMI platform, by providing information/data to requests made by the organizations/associations from EU/EEA.

By making the guide for the certification and the recognition of the CTAP expert profession (expert that certifies, technically, the quality of the Forestry Earhworks) is subscribed to achieve the second objective mentioned and proposes the following:  Supporting the competent authorities from Romania in their efforts to normalize the certification and the recognition processes for the regulated professions, that they manage, by informing them about the practices from other EU member states (the present guide presents the practices from other nine state members)  Informing all the persons who have acquired qualifications in the analyzed activity , in Romania, and want to practice that profession in one of the nine EU countries presented in the guide.

In order to complete this guide, a refined methodology was applied throughout the IMI PQ NET ROMANIA project, by consulting with competent authorities. The main information sources needed to complete this guide and other 29 similar professions were: - The research of the ANC experts for each country; - Information obtained from the competent authorities from Romania, during consultations and workshops; - IMI statistics and the database of the regulated professions, belonging to the European Commision 1;

Data collected during the study visits organized in the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Denmark and Germany .

The structuring of the guide was based on the standard reference terms, as a rough guide for the procedures of validating and certificating the competences, and the recognition processes, defined during the project, in two rounds of workshop with the members of the IMI PQ NET Romania group, published with the 30 guides of certification and recognition. Thus, when structuring the guide, three major aspects were followed, in the analyzed countries compared to Romania, respectively the procedures for validation and certification of competencies, the recognition process for qualification and practicing the profession.

1. THE SETTLEMENT SITUATION IN ROMANIA AND IN OTHER MEMBER STATES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION The guide covers aspects of skills validation/certification, recognition and practice of the profession known in Romania as CTAP experct (expert that certifies, technically, the quality of the Forestry Earhworks) compared to identical, similar or related professions in nine EU states, namely Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Italy, UK, Holland, Portugal, Spain.

The guide is intended to be a tool to assist the competent authorities from Romania (in this case, the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change), in their efforts to normalize the certification and recognition process of the regulated professions that they manage, by informing them about the practices from other EU member states. Also, this guide is designed and structured so that it is an efficient way of informing all the people that have obtained the qualification in Romania and want to practice permanently or temporarly, in one of the nine EU member states, presented in the guide.

At the same time, the guide has some limitations. The first one is that it presents the situation from only nine EU member states, set for all the developed guides. A second important limitation is that some of the dates, in general the statistics, are available at the moment when the guide was developed and they need to be periodically updated.

In the Annex 2 of Law 200 of May 25th, 2004 on the recognition of diplomas and professional qualifications for regulated professions in Romania, amended and supplemented, there are given a series of electric professions as ship's electrician foreman, ship's electrician, sea port foreman electrician, aspiring ship's electrician, onboard electrician, for which the competent authority is the Ministry of Transport. On the other hand, there are many professions for which the competent authority is the National Authority of Regulation in the Energy Area that, given the existing methodology, continuously

improved in recent years, can be considered regulated professions .

According to the order no. of March 13th, 2013, these professions are: 

Authorized Electrical Engineering;  Project checker (in the electrical installations domain);  Technical Executer (in the electrical installations domain);  Quality technical expert and extrajudicial in the electrical installations domain.

By analyzing the electrical professions, existing in the analyzed countries, it was found that there is a significant number of similar professions regulated.

Table 1.1 presents the most important professions, similar to those in Romania, existing in the electric field, in the EU countries.

An exception from these regulated profession is the High tension electrical cable technician / Tehnician cablu de înaltă tensiune which, though on the list, is not regulated in any country. Some of these jobs will be analyzed in detail in Chapters 2, 3 and 4, for the countries listed.

This analysis took into account the fact that in Romania there are many regulated professions by the National Authority of Regulation, similar or equivalent to those presented in Table 1.1.

Statistically speaking, in terms of the flow of migrants who left in other countries, others than those in which they obtained the qualification, we can determine which are the most “mobile” professions, taking as reference a relatively long time, 1997 – 2012, noting that the professions are classified by the number of decisions taken on recognition of the professional qualifications. Thus, starting from the existing data3, we can conclude the following: 1. In terms of geographical mobility. Taking into consideration the period of time 1997 - 2012, for all the decisions taken by the resident country, for all the EU member states and for all the professions, a hierarchy of top 5 countries can be established (considering the country in which the qualification was obtained) (Fig. 1.1) and the resident country (Fig. 1.2).

In figure 1.1, it can be seen that Romania occupies the 4th place, with 8% of all the countries in which the qualification was obtained, with UK on the first place, with 13%.

2. Based on the existing data, if we restrict the scope of analysys to qualifications obtained in the 9 analyzed countries + Romania, with recognition in the EU member states, we can make a ranking of the top 5 host countries, in which the professions are regulated in each country from the 9, where the qualifications were obtained:  For Austria (resident country), the top 5 host countries in which the professions are regulated are: Germany with 61%, on par with 10%, UK and Italy, and with 3%, Slovakia and the Netherlands;  For the Czech Republic: 28% UK, 18% Germany, 16% Austria, 13% Slovakia and with 5% Ireland;  For Denmark: 44% Sweden, 28% UK, 10% Germany, 4% the Netherlands, 3% Spain;  For Germany: 33% Austria, 17% UK, 9% the Netherlands, 7% Luxembourg, 5% Denmark;  Italy: 41% UK, on par with 12% Greece and Germany, 11% Spain and 5% Belgium;  The Netherlands: with 40% Belgium, 29% Germany, 17% UK, 3% Austria and 2% Sweden;

Although the number of the IMI recognizing decisions is not as high as in other professions (nurses, doctors etc.), in the forest area there is a significant number of decisions, that will be discussed in chapter 3, for each country and for each professions, trying to emphasize the degree of compatibility of migrants comning from Romania, with the recognition requirements of each country.

4. In the case of the electrical professions, the most important statistics, on generic categories of professions, can be obtained considering the top five countries where the migrants have obtained professional qualifications (Fig. 1.3, 1.5 and 1.7) and the top 5 countries in which the qualification has been recognized(fig. 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8). a.

2.2. Skills validation/certification of the profession as an electrician in ITALY For traditional and historical reasons, in Italy, a wide range of professions in engineering and other technical professions are administered by the Ministry of Justice, which has been along the time the promoter of many legal acts in various fields. Thus, in Italy, the engineering profession is a regulated one, but not all the graduates of high technical education get the title of an engineer. For example, university graduates from the electrical domain do not get the title of engineer. In Romania, the engineering profession is not regulated, but the formation is regulated. The person follows a study course of at least four years, followed by a bachelor's degree.

An important difference towards Romania is the fact that, in Italy, the Autorita per L’Energia Elettrica e il Gas - AEEG (similar to the National Regulatory Authority in the Energy domain - NARE in Romania) has no powers of competent authority on training and / or qualification recognition, but only on the energy market regulation. The professions that in Romania are managed by NARE (the electricity and gas domains) are regulated in Italy by other ministries, primarily, the Ministry of Economic Development (tab. 2.1).

Table 2.1 Energy and Gas Italy - Autorita per L’Energia Elettrica e il Gas (AEEG) - Atributions to regulate the energy market; - It has no responsability as a competent authority regarding the training and / or qualification recognition of qualifications  Ministero dello Sviluppo Economico, Ministero Giustizia

Romania – NARE - Responsabilities as the competent authority on training and / or recognition of qualifications - Authorized plumber to design, construct and / or operate the natural gas objectives / systems - Electricians that design, construct, verify and operate electric power system installations

ROMANIAN GOVERNMENT THE EUROPEAN MINISTRY OF LABOUR, FAMILY UNION AND SOCIAL PROTECTION AM POSDRU

THE EUROPEAN SOCIAL FUND POS DRU 2007-2013

STRUCTURAL INSTRUMENTS 2007 - 2013

Germany adopted, on April 1st, 2012, the “Recognition Act�18.

Before this date there was no standard procedure for the professional qualification recognition acquired abroad, although almost three million persons with a professional qualification acquired abroad live and work in Germany. Today, many people from other countries work in Germany on occupations that are not consistent with their skill level.

Because the German economy is dependent on skilled workers, the German government enacted the Law for improving the assessment and recognition of foreign qualifications, also known as the Law on recognition or the Recognition Act. This helps to equate the procedures for the professional qualifications and supports the skilled migrants and skilled foreign workers on the labour market in Germany.

Germany has no central organization, that is responsible for all the foreign requests of the professional qualification recognition. The responsible authorities are available in every land.

The Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training has created a portal for recognition process in Germany, on the website of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, to help individuals in seeking foreign recognition of their professional qualifications in finding an authority to investigate the case and provide prompt answers to their questions about the procedure of recognition. The portal is aimed not only for the immigrants who already live in Germany and have gained professional qualifications abroad, but also for the skilled workers from other countries, who are interested in working in Germany. The portal also helps the staff who advises individuals who are seeking for the recognition of qualifications acquired abroad.

This portal 19 directs people who are seeking the recognition of a certificate or a diploma by an authority that is responsible for assessing 18 19

those skills and provide important information on the laws and regulations underlying the recognition of foreign qualifications procedures. In addition, the portal provides tips and information on career guidance.

If one of the qualifications was obtained abroad, the diploma’s equivalent can be checked with the German titles, that will give the right to practice without a title granted, under the Law of determining professional qualifications – Berufsqualifikationsfeststellungsgesetz/ Professional qualification determination Act (BQFG)20.

The access to this procedure may vary, depending on the special requirement of the regulated professions. In some cases, there are no procedures in place to assess qualifications from third countries. In the base of the BQFG law, a request can be submitted by any person who:  Has the professional qualifications obtained in a EU/EEA country;  Intents to practice paid employment in Germany.

The procedure is not available for the unskilled or semiskilled persons, who don’t have the professional qualifications.

Responsible authorities 



The Chambers of Commerce and Industry, who are primarily responsible for considering the equivalence training in the dual system and the central authority for industry and commerce: IHK FOSA (Approval of Foreign Skills).

The responsibility in the regulated professions domain is based on the specialized laws and regulations of each Land.

The procedure compares foreign qualifications, with a similar German occupation; The competent authority shall consider whether there are fundamental differences between foreign qualifications and the German professional qualifications; Professional experience acquired in Germany or abroad can also be taken into account in addition to training; If it is not possible to provide adequate evidence of qualifications, an analysis can be performed to determine the qualifications of professional skills (eg, technical discussions and work sample); The procedure is the subject to a fee. The amount is based on the tax table of the authority and depends on the cost and effort involved in implementing the procedure. The responsible authority may provide accurate information regarding the tax.

Possible results 



If the examination is positive, the authority issues an equivalence certificate in unregulated professions. This has the same legal consequences as a German professional qualification. There is a certificate of the German examination.

The procedure is a prerequisite for access to employment in regulated professions; When there are considerable differences between foreign qualifications and German skills, the following distinctions must be implemented: In the case of training occupations, the competent authority describes the existing professional qualifications and describes the differences between these and the German ones. This will help when applying for jobs and make it possible to obtain additional qualifications, if necessary; In the case of regulated professions, there may required an adaptation measure (test or adaptation period) in order to

73

ROMANIAN GOVERNMENT THE EUROPEAN MINISTRY OF LABOUR, FAMILY UNION AND SOCIAL PROTECTION AM POSDRU

THE EUROPEAN SOCIAL FUND POS DRU 2007-2013

STRUCTURAL INSTRUMENTS 2007 - 2013

achieve the equivalence. The compensatory measures vary according to the individual special laws. The responsible authority may provide information on how accurate.

Documents required for applying  Table with an overview, in German, of the training plan, and any paid employment so far;  Proof of identity (copy of identity card or passport);  Proof of professional qualifications;  Evidence of relevant work experience;  Other competence certificates;  A declaration that no application for the request of equivalence has been made in the past;  Proof that the applicant intends to work in Germany (does not apply for EU / EEA / Switzerland and persons residing in the EU / EEA / Switzerland).

The responsible authority may require certified copies or originals. In some cases, the authority may accept simple copies of the documents.

The documents must be translated into German. Translations will be prepared by the public appointed and sworn interpreters, translators in Germany or abroad. The competent authority may waive the need for translation.

The length of the procedure  



The responsible authority begins evaluating the equivalence immediately after all the necessary documents are received.

From December 1st, 2012, the procedure should not take more than three months. In difficult cases, the decision period may be extended once, for good reasons.

The decision-making period starts with the receipt of all required documents.

3.11. The SOLVIT system The SOLVIT system is a problem-solving network, in which the EU member states work together to solve the problems resulting from improper application of the law by the public authorities. Among the areas in which the issue frequency is high and there are complaints to be dealt by SOLVIT, there is also the professional recognition of qualifications and diplomas, along with other areas such as access to education, residence permits, voting rights, social security, free movement of capital and payments etc.

In each EU member state there is a SOLVIT center, that provides these services, free of charge. For the analyzed countries and for Romania, the data regarding the SOLVIT centres are presented in Table 3.1.

The complaints can be submitted on-line, on the documents available on the SOLVIT websites from each country (Table 3.1). Any complaint through SOLVIT implies four stages to resolution:  the case is accepted, the legal base is being checked, if the documents that were included in the base by the origin center are not sufficient, additional documents are required;  obtaining the solution: the competent authority that is involved in the case is contacted and it cooperates in order to obtain a solution that is a fair, in accordance to European legislation;  solution proposal (implemented or not) – the solution must be real, practical and in accordance to European legislation;  Monitoring the implementation of the applicant's proposal to solve the case.

SOLVIT potential is still insufficiently exploited as a problem solving key instrument at a national/European level, partially because of the insufficient staff from different SOLVIT centers and also because of the

84

STRUCTURAL INSTRUMENTS 2007 - 2013

insufficient information received by the European citizens regarding the competencies of these centers.

4.2. The pursuit of similar profession in the analyzed EU countries In Italia the pursuit of the professions in the electrical area is compliant to some specific regional and autonomous provinces regulations.

The professions from the Installazione impianti elettrici categories , in which we also find the Impiantista/ Electrician profession, which are responsible for the overall technical occupation that should be mandatory in any company, in which there is work with electrical appliances. The CEI 11-27 Norm regulates the appointment of persons (il Responsabile dell’Impianto - RI, Preposto ai Lavori - PL).

this profession is available for all those who practice it, in various types, either free or in private entities when using this title.

In the UK for pursuing one of the analyzed professions, it is mandatory to become a member of a professional organization.

So, for pursuing the Chartered Energy Engineer profession, the additional condition to become a member of the Energy Institute23 is mandatory, which is the competent authority in the recognition process, and to have at least five years of experience in the area.

For the Electrical and computer (technology) engineer profession, it is mandatory to become a member of the Engineering and Technology Institution.

least 5 years of experience and at least 3 recommendations from senior members or advisor members.

To obtain the counselor membership, it is required a minimum of 5 years as a senior member or 15 years as a member or 20 years of professional experience in the field, plus three recommendations from other members councilors.

All fees are established and maintained by the National Board of Directors.

In the other countries, to pursue the analyzed professions in chapters 3 and 4, there are no special conditions.

5. CONCLUSIONS The present guide covers aspects of skills validation / certification, recognition and pursuit of the profession in Romaniain the electrical domain, compared with identical, similar, homologous or compatible professions from nein EU member states, namely Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Italy, UK, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain.

These professions are discussed in detail in Chapters 2, 3 and 4, for the countries listed. This analysis took into account the fact that in Romania, the professions in the electrical domain are regulated by NARE and there have been identified the competent authorities for each country, for each of the analyzed profession.

Even if in Italy, Autorita per L’Energia Elettrica e il Gas - AEEG (which is similar to NARE in Romania) does not have any responsability as a competent authority regarding training and / or qualification recoognition, but only to regulate the energy market, in the case of professions from this country, there has been identified a large number of similarity to those in Romania in terms of types and authorizations degrees.

STRUCTURAL INSTRUMENTS 2007 - 2013

Achieving the certification and qualification recognition guide in the electrical domain, primarily, seeks to be a useful tool to inform all persons who may be in the situation: 





To follow a training program in one of the analyzed countries, at the end of which is to pursue a similar profession in the electrical domain; Has a similar qualification to the one from Romania and wants to want to be recognized and to practice in the analyzed countries, temporarly or ocasionally; After recognition in one of the analyzed countries, they want to know the regulations and obligations regarding the pursuit of the profession, the professional conduct and ethics in the field, the membership in certain professional organizations etc.

Equally important, the guide aims to support the competent authorities of Romania in its efforts to standardize the certification and recognition of regulated professions that they manage, by informing them about the practices of other EU member states.

The main limitations of the guide are that it only deals with the situation of 9 EU countries, set for all the developed guidelines and some information, generally the statistics, are available when developing guidelines and should be updated regularly.

Although the IMI number of recognition decisions is not as high as in other professions (nurses, doctors, etc..), in the electric field there is still a significant number of decisions that are discussed in Chapter 3, for each country and for each profession, especially in regards to Austria where the profession Elektrotechnik / Electrical Engineer has 495 recognition decisions (and only 2 – negative! for Romania) and 276 temporary mobility decisions (none for Romania). In other countries, such as, for example Italy there is a greater number of positive decisions (15 decisions, out of which 11 were positive).

In Chapter 4, there are highlighted the professions whose pursuit is the subject to certain membership organizations, colleges, orders etc.
