Chair of CPME Working Group on Professional Practice: Dr Andreas BOTZLAR

EU legislation to this end, in particular the Professional Qualifications Directive 2005/36/EC and the Proportionality Directive 2018/958/EU, must be driven by the objective of safeguarding patient safety and quality of care by creating suitable structures to achieve that medical practice across borders contributes to improving healthcare in Europe.
