520			_aIn the light of Europe's experience of its Directive on mutual recognition of professional qualifications and the World Trade Organisation's (WTO) intention to achieve a global marketplace for professional services by identifying 'disciplines' which can be applied to all professions, this paper considers a potential methodology for achieving a global system for the free movement of professionals. Explains the process of mutual recognition as implemented within the EU and discusses the WTO's likely approach towards the globalisation of services. The problems which face the surveying profession( including the problem of identifying the various surveying professions which exist in different countries), the role of professional organisations, the nature of 'professional competence' and the threshold standards applied to professional competence as a vital component of any mutual recognition are also discussed.
