6  Recognition of Licences Issued by Other EU Member States
In accordance with the European Union Directive 2006/23/EC, the UK shall recognise student and air traffic controller Licences issued by other Member States of the European Union, where such Licences have been issued in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
6.1  Requirements for Recognition
6.1.1  The holder of such a Licence who intends to seek employment as an air traffic controller in the UK, shall apply in writing to the CAA to obtain confirmation that his Licence is acceptable to the CAA, before seeking such employment.
6.1.2  The Licence cannot be used in the UK unless it is accompanied by confirmation from the CAA that the Licence has been recognised as acceptable by the CAA as the UK Licensing Authority.
6.1.3  The Licence-holder shall submit a copy of his Licence and accompanying Medical Certificate to the CAA to request recognition of the Licence in accordance with the Directive. The Licence-holder shall indicate to the CAA if he intends to exchange his Licence issued by another EU Member State for a Licence issued by the CAA in the event that he is successful in gaining employment in the UK as an air traffic controller. The CAA shall only issue a Licence in cases where a provider of air traffic services confirms the individual is employed, or has been offered employment, by them.
6.1.4  The CAA shall verify the validity of the Licence with the State of Licence issue and, once satisfied, shall then issue a confirmation of Licence recognition to the holder to confirm that the Licence, together with the ratings and rating endorsements contained within it, and its accompanying Medical Certificate, are acceptable.
6.1.5  Should the Licence-holder subsequently obtain employment as an air traffic controller in the UK, his employer shall advise the appropriate ATS Regional Manager or Head of En-Route and College Regulation who shall agree the Training Plan to be undertaken by the Licence-holder. The Training Plan must ensure that those elements of initial training specific to the UK national conditions, as detailed in the relevant rating Part(s) of CAP 624, are taught and assessed prior to the Licence-holder commencing unit training.
6.1.6  Where the Licence-holder elects to exchange his Licence for a Licence issued by the CAA, the CAA shall issue a UK Licence to the individual containing the same ratings and endorsements as those contained in the original Licence.
6.1.7  Where the individual has not held a valid rating in the ATC rating discipline in which they wish to undertake training within the previous 4 years, he shall be required to undertake an Assessment of Previous Competence, in accordance with Part 3, paragraph 3.2 of this document.
6.1.8  To commence UK unit training, the individual must be in possession of either: a) his original Licence together with the CAA's confirmation of Licence recognition;
or
b) a Licence issued by the CAA.

6.1.9  The CAA shall attend the examination board for the initial award of a unit endorsement for all individuals whose Licence has been recognised or exchanged in accordance with the above.
6.1.10  Administrative procedures for the recognition of student and air traffic controller Licences issued by other Member States of the European Union are contained in paragraph 13 of Part 4 of this document.
