"This report certainly contains a number of positive elements which could lead to greater simplification in, and wider guarantees for, the recognition of professional qualifications.
However, one point of this report leaves me somewhat perplexed. I am referring to Article 13, which would exempt tour guides from the obligation of prior declaration in another country. This measure could open the floodgates to unauthorised tour guides who do not have the necessary competence to work in an area in which they do not normally work. Tour guides working in their own localities are guarantees of competence, quality and even safety. During the recent floods in Liguria, it was thanks precisely to their expertise and knowledge of the region that two local guides were able to rescue a number of people.
I would not like Europe to cede yet again to large multinationals in the tourism sector, as happened with the Bolkestein Directive, thereby giving up an unparalleled degree of knowledge of our territories. For these reasons, I have decided to abstain."@en1
