In the UK it was with the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.\nhttp://www.healthandsafety.co.uk/haswa.htm\n\nI just did a quick web search for the US legislation but can't find a date when it was first implemented there. I think H&S legislation was implemented in Europe before the UK or the US.

I don't really know about the EU, but here in the United States you must be accepted to a residency program prior to practicing medicine. In order to be accepted into a residency you must meet certain qualifications. Those qualifications are rigerous and strict. Then residency takes at least 3 years (medicine) more for surgury. Then more years for a fellowship (specialty). Many foreign physicians who choose to do this are young and able to invest the time. I am sure that the EU has the same type of standards. The rational behind this is that even though you are qualified in your country, the qualifications are different in America and Europe. Good luck in your search.

In 1998, the European Union began enforcing strict privacy regulations pertaining to the personal information of its citizens. The EU’s Data Protection Directive prohibits the\ntransfer of personal information to countries that lack “adequate” privacy protection.\n\nHope this helps.
