DEFINITION OF THE TERM LIBERAL PROFESSIONS

Since the term ‘liberal professions’ is understood differently in different Member States, a common definition

• f this term is crucial. In 2001, the European Court of Justice issued a judgment in the case „C-267/99,

Adam./.Administration de l’enregistrement et des domaines de Luxembourg“ according to which liberal professions are described to be:

‘of a marked intellectual character, require a high level qualification and are usually subject to clear and strict professional regulation. In the exercise of such an activity, the personal element is of special importance and such exercise always involves a large measure of independence in the accomplishment of the professional activities.’.
