Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

BASI Statement re EU meeting to review the Eurotest and EMS
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

At the Brussels meeting on the 5 May 2011, with representatives of the EU ski instructor associations to review the Eurotest and the EuroSecurity test and discuss a way forward to a European professional card, participants recognised that a test run by the ISIA was not appropriate. Any solution should be open to all Member States, irrespective of whether they are today applying the Eurotest or not.

The UK delegation will take the lead on a review of test sites. The Germans will Chair a group working on the EuroSecurity test.

An inventory will be created of all the alpine ski training systems of the different EU nations coordinated by France with the UK and Spain assisting.

To quote the EU draft report: “All participants agreed that the ski instructor profession is today working towards a common platform and a European professional card. The participants further agreed that this would be noted in the soon to be issued Commission Green Paper on a modernisation of the Professional Qualifications Directive.”

The next meeting is expected to be about October 2011.

beanie1,

Can you shed light on who was present at this meeting, ie, which bodies were represented?

Was there any representation from the European Commission or was it solely made up from representatives of European Ski Instructor Nations (and possibly branches of their national government bodies, eg, Jenuesse de Sport)?

Can you request clarification on the reasoning which lead to the ISIA test being dismissed as 'not appropriate'?

The BASI statement makes reference to an EU draft report: I am unable to locate this draft document on Europa.eu. Could BASI provide a link to this draft report or post a copy of this draft report?


Hurtle -

Can you follow up on this, ie. the green paper and the draft report? Not sure if enshrining in legislation that there is only one possible manner to achieve a qualification for all EU citizens is permitted within the Lisbon Treaty. Doesn't seem to fit with the principles of an open market.

3 years later and the meeting to discuss in Brussels was cancelled at the last minute. How is it that French protectionists always seem to get their way?
