Legal protection of CEng Title outside of UK

Former Community Member

This European Organization call  its Members " European CHARTERED Engineers " but the Engineering Council is NOT present in their Members list

www.ecec.net/.../

So I wonder whether ANYONE may use the denomination " Chartered Engineer " outside the UK or not .,

    Sure ! But I would like to know what is the thought of  the Enginerring Council about this situation .Is the EC able to protect its Professional

    Titles outside the UK or not ? In other words,  the Professional Qualification "Chartered Engineer" may be used by anyone outside the UK or not ?

    Please give an official answer .

    If you want official, try having a read of The European Communities (Recognition of Professional Qualifications) Regulations 2007 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2007/2781/pdfs/uksi_20072781_en.pdf and DIRECTIVE 2005/36/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 7 September 2005 on the recognition of professional qualifications http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:02005L0036-20140117&from=EN


    Realistically, there is nothing that the EC could possibly do if someone decided to call themselves a "Chartered Engineer" outside the EU, since these laws and directives would not apply there.
