According to the survey Antitrust act as the professional castes have, unjustified privileges and are reluctant to change.
On completion of the Authority's consultation period on 13 January 2007 in the professional game. The result is a bleak picture: categories reluctant to change and innovation in national codes of practice are required to increase the competitive pressure in the individual compartments. We are speaking of professional architects, lawyers, career counselors, pharmacists, geologists, surveyors, journalists, engineers, doctors and dentists, solicitors, industrial experts, psychologists, accountants and accountants. Their behavior is comparable, according to the supervisory body for the competition, that of caste as having undue privileges - permitted by a regulatory law is unique in Europe - and extremely reluctant to change.
More specifically, the 13 categories professional concerned did not seize the growth opportunities offered by liberalization of the agreed professional fee, the ability to create companies and multi-disciplinary advertising information. On the contrary, they were even seen as obstacles to the conduct of its business. Few positive exceptions: a surveyors, accountants, industrial technicians and pharmacists, the Antitrust Authority has recognized the merit of having "adequate codes of conduct in respect to the determination of the professional fee to the principles of competition." The Antitrust Authority launches and then the warning to professional bodies, urging them to lose no more time to adapt to European norms.
The Guarantor also suggests the use of legal instruments to combat the inertia of the orders. Among the most urgent is the need to create suitable access routes to the professions easier, through university courses and internships designed on the real learning needs and a set time limit. Should be developed the concept of "professional decorum" in order to promote competition between health professionals and the professional integrity to clients. According to the Consumers Association and the Young Lawyers ADUC, any attempt to reform the professional associations would be useless: the only way to "democratize offers and requests is entirely abolished.
