This Order under section 2 of the European Communities Act 1972 comes into force on 19th November 1987. It implements European Communities Council Directives relating to the mutual recognition of qualifications in architecture. The Order amends the Architects (Registration) Act 1931 (“the 1931 Act”) and the Architects Registration Act 1938 (“the 1938 Act”).
The Order gives architects with defined European qualifications the right to be registered under the 1931 Act (articles 5 and 6, which insert new sections 6A and 7A and two new Schedules into the 1931 Act). In consequence, the role of the Board of Architectural Education and the Admission Committee in relation to European qualifications is abolished (article 4). Disqualification in another member State may lead to removal of an architects name from the register (article 7, which inserts a new section 7A into the 1931 Act).
A form of temporary registration is provided for architects established in other member States who wish to provide services while visiting the United Kingdom and such visiting architects are made subject to disciplinary provisions (article 8, which inserts a new section 1A into the 1938 Act).
