A new essay: The Credential Cartel.

Why does qualification recognition take so long?
→ 69% of verifications still manual
→ Each MS has different procedures
→ No standardised digital infrastructure
→ Paper-based processes requiring physical document exchange
Result: a 6-month average career gap in recognition. Professionals either wait unemployed or work below their qualification level
This isn't just inconvenient—it's a barrier preventing 450 million Europeans from exercising Treaty rights
