The Ministry of Economy and Finance handles a new law as a result of the transposition of the European Services Directive called Omnibus, which aims to end the technical capacity of schools to ensure the interests of consumers through visas. The schools fear that the possible elimination of the control of technical work entails an increase in the price of the project when it happens to the hands of insurance companies or lucrative entities in search of a greater benefit.
CETIT wants to express its concern about what will be, if not stopped in the last parliamentary instance, a serious damage to the society in the form of a law called Omnibus which, among other measures, intends to change the regulation of the profession of colleagues Professional laws and professional societies.
This bill amending various laws for its adaptation to the Law on free access to service activities and its exercise is currently being processed by the Senate. Among the modified aspects, an important change is contemplated in the visa for professional work and, if thrived, under no circumstances will colleges, by themselves or through their statutory provisions, be able to impose the obligation to apply for professional work.
CETIT once again reminds us that this regulation corresponds to the schools by law and therefore the visa of technical documents can only be regulated by professional colleges by virtue of their competencies.
What the Ministry of Economy and Finance intends to do with this new law will make the collegial control disappear which, in short, involves removing the professional associations from the technical development of their own profession, to which they owe and for who work tirelessly there. The visas are one of the most effective ways to control that the technical works are carried out with all the possible guarantees of responsibility to the benefit of both the projector and the citizen or the company that has requested the service of a technician submitted to the professional deontological code. If this important school capacity is eliminated, there is a risk that control will be passed by private companies, presumably insurers, who will not have the baggage of schools and will probably tend to get a higher profit of this task of responsibility carried out so far exemplary by the Associations of Industrial Technical Engineers.
The consumer must know that the visa guarantees the security by means of the accreditation of the industrial technical engineer that does the work, is qualified and is competent to do it, verifies and certifies the integrity and the documentary identity of all its content administrative and legislative for the administration that is intended, in addition to guaranteeing the existence of a liability insurance.
The transposition of the Services Directive encourages the existence of the visa, so this position is not understood to deprecate the profession and the citizen.
In this sense, it should be noted that visa fees do not exceed 0.20% of the cost of the project while the intrinsic fees of the Administration are greater than 2.80% of the cost. To this fact, it must be added that the economic part that the school obtains is invested in the profession and therefore there is no profit motive.
So far, CETIT, like other institutions, has made the various parliamentary political forces represented in our demarcation their opinion before this injustice and has proposed amendments to prevent this new law from being damaged both for the profession as for all citizens. The efforts continue at all levels and we trust that the good sense of parliament will prevent this event from happening in the midst of a situation that, in itself, is already bad enough for everyone.
