The Architects Act 1997 (Amendment) Order 2016 (revoked)

This Order amends the Architects Act 1997 (“the Act”) to update references to Directive 2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications (OJ L 255, 30.9.2005, p.22) (“the principal Directive”), last amended by Directive 2013/55/EU amending Council Directive 2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications and Regulation (EU) No 1024/2012 on administrative cooperation through the Internal Market Information System (OJ L 354, 28.12.2013, p.132) (“the 2013 Directive”), and to the United Kingdom regulations that implement the principal Directive. The regulations in question are the European Communities (Recognition of Professional Qualifications) Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/2781) (“the 2007 Regulations”), which are now revoked and replaced by the European Union (Recognition of Professional Qualifications) Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/2059) (“the 2015 Regulations”). The 2015 Regulations implemented the amendments to the principal Directive made by the 2013 Directive.
