Tundmatu saatja korral palume linke ja faile mitte avada.	Dear Sir
or Madam,
I hope this email finds you well.
I am contacting you from Spark Legal and Policy Consulting for a study we
are conducting on the identification of professions for the extension of
automatic recognition through common training frameworks under Directive
2005/36/EC, commissioned by the European Commission. This study aims to
identify regulated professions that could potentially be fit for the
development of a common training framework (CTF) under Article 49a of the
Directive and define the concrete components such potential CTFs could
include. CTFs are defined as a common set of minimum knowledge, skills and
competences needed to practice a specific profession in participating EU
countries, and serve as a system for recognising professional
qualifications required for entering a regulated profession. The aim of a
CTF is to facilitate recognition of qualifications, without the need to
harmonise national education or regulatory frameworks, thereby
facilitating the movement of professionals within the EU.
At this stage of our study, we are mapping the national regulatory
framework of 10 professions that were selected in the first phase of this
Study. The aim of this next phase is to assess the feasibility of
introducing a CTF for each of them. This mapping will consider their
national frameworks with regards to regulatory status, qualifications and
training requirement in each EU Member State. For this reason, we would
like to ask your help by providing input through a short online survey for
the profession of Child care worker.
Please note that this is the generic name used in the Regulated
Professions Database which refers to specific professions regulated by
national law in Member States. You can find the exact profession that it
corresponds to in your Member State by clicking on the link above. It is
possible that in some cases, more than one national profession has been
notified by Member States under this generic name. For this reason, we
have identified a list of professions regulated at national level that we
consider for our research, and we kindly ask you to fill in the survey
with reference to the profession there indicated. You can find this list
in the survey’s introduction, by opening the survey via the link below.
Should you consider that another profession regulated in your Member State
would be more appropriate under this generic denomination, please flag
this to us via email and complete the survey for that profession instead.
In addition, should you identify any information in the Regulated
Professions Database that is significantly outdated, incorrect or
imprecise, we would be grateful if you could also flag this to us. You can
access and fill in the survey here:
https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/aba9bf14-8ec8-e541-9401-17e87f153502
Your input would be essential to ensure that the mapping exercise reflects
the national context accurately. We would be grateful to receive your
input by 13 May 2026.
We identified your contact details through the European Commission’s
Regulated Professions Database as the national competent authority for
this profession or it was provided to us by the national coordinator for
Directive 2005/36/EC. If appropriate, please feel free to forward this
survey to the colleague best suited to respond within your organisation.
Please note that it is possible that you receive this email for several
different professions as some of the selected professions fall under the
same competent authority. We kindly ask you to fill in each survey
separately for the distinct professions concerned.
For further information, please refer to the attached accreditation letter
from the European Commission and the privacy notice.
Thank you very much for your help in advance. Should you have any
questions or require further information or linguistic support, please do
not hesitate to reach out to me (at [email-masked]) and my
colleague Anna Rossa (at [email-masked]). 
Kind regards,
