14.—(1) This regulation and regulations 15 and 16 apply in the case of applicants in a regulated profession which has public health or safety implications, namely—
(a)a profession listed in Schedule 2;
(b)a sectoral profession, except the profession of architect, in a case described in regulation 3(9).
(2) Subject to paragraph (3), for regulated professions referred to in paragraph (1), the competent authority shall check the professional qualifications of the applicant prior to the first provision of services.
(3) Such prior check shall be possible only where the purpose of the verification is justified and proportionate in the profession concerned in order to avoid serious damage to the health or safety of the recipient of the service, due to a lack of professional qualifications of the applicant, and where this check does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve that purpose.
