Cap. 622 Art. 8Partial access.

(1) Where a national of a Member State has professional qualifications, recognised by another Member State, but where the scope of professional activities is narrower than those in Malta, and the differences between the fields of activity are so large that a full programme of education and training would be required for the professional to compensate for the shortcomings, the Warranting Board may grant the candidate partial access to the profession either for the purposes of establishment in Malta or for temporary and occasional provision of services, if the professional agrees: Provided that such qualified professional activity can be objectively separated from the other activities falling under the profession.

(2) In this case, the exercise of the profession will be carried out under the professional title of the home Member State, as long as this does not create confusion for the consumers of the service in Malta.

(3) The Warranting Board shall keep a list of those professionals that have been granted partial access, and a proper description of the professional activity that they have the authorisation to undertake in Malta.

(4) Service provider practising the profession on the basis of this article shall remain subject to the rules, whether of a professional, statutory or administrative nature, which are directly related to professional qualifications, definition of the profession, use of titles, serious professional malpractice, directly and specifically related to consumer protection and safety, and shall be subject to disciplinary provisions which are applicable to warrant holders.
