Engineers set for a brighter new year after trilateral agreement is signed in Paris
Keywords: The Engineering Council, Engineering, Professional qualifications
It looks set to be a prosperous 2001 for British professional engineers after a trilateral agreement was signed in Paris recently which will pave the way for greater recognition of their qualifications abroad.
The UK's Engineering Council signed the agreement following two years of negotiations with France and Italy which was finalised during the recent FEANI (European Federation of National Engineering Associations) annual Assembly in Hamburg.
The new arrangements will give British-registered Chartered and Incorporated Engineers the knowledge and assurance that their professional qualifications will be recognised in both France and Italy.
It will also give engineers of equivalent status from these countries the same recognition when working in Britain. British companies will have the assurance that French and Italian qualifications match those of Chartered and Incorporated Engineers in the UK.
