19Directive 2005/36 provides for the mutual recognition of professional qualifications as regards access to a certain number of regulated professions. Under Articles 1 and 4(1) of that directive, the fundamental purpose of mutual recognition is to allow the holder of a professional qualification giving access to a regulated profession in the holder’s home Member State to gain access, in the host Member State, to the same profession as that for which he is qualified in the home Member State, and to practise that profession in the host Member State under the same conditions as its own nationals.
