In January 2017 the European Commission presented a proposal for a “Directive on a proportionality test before adoption of new regulation of professions”. At the meeting members of the European Parliament, stakeholders of the health care professions, representatives of the European Commission, and the Council of the European Union discussed the proposal. Prof. Dr. Anne Schäfer, M.A. evaluated the proposal with “10 theses on the proportionality test concerning the regulated (health) professions in the past and in future”.
