The point that I am making Peter is that they could not specify that the person has to be a member of the IFA or any other organisation. They could however specify a recognised minimum qualification. But even that could cause problems with relevant experience. It?s so much simpler with medicine, accountancy or law. You have to be a member of the right organisation and have the right qualifications and have the time in to do the job. With the EU bit you have the problem of transferable qualifications in conflict with free movement of labour. I think that there is a bit on that on the official EU law web site. and I do like s106
