<p>The UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) provides a framework under which
the UK and the EU may agree Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs) on the recognition
of professional qualification covering the UK and all 27 EU Member States. Once an
arrangement is adopted under the TCA, UK professionals will be able to use the terms
outlined in the arrangement to secure recognition for their professional qualifications
within EU Member States.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Arrangements are implemented
on a profession-by-profession basis and depend upon reciprocal cooperation from both
the UK and EU Member States. The framework enables UK and EU professional bodies or
authorities to make recommendations on MRAs to the Partnership Council. Once an arrangement has
been adopted, a professional qualified in the UK (e.g. an engineer) will be able to use
the terms outlined in the arrangement to secure recognition of their qualifications
within an EU Member State.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government continues
to engage with stakeholders in the tourism sector to hear their priorities for the
UK’s future relationship with the EU. Officials are currently engaging with the tourism
trade bodies, including the British Association of International Mountain Leaders
(BAIML) to gather feedback on priority regulators and qualifications for the tourism
sector.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The government will provide help and guidance
to UK regulatory authorities and professional bodies to help them benefit from these
provisions as well as other recognition paths. Where visas apply, our agreement with
the EU contains measures that will help ensure processes are as prompt and smooth
as possible.</p><p> </p>
