Repository in the IMI-system concerning document requirements notified by MS Can be considered in some respects as, Incomplete, Open to different kind of interpretations, Disorganized. Suggestions for improvement: Modifying or renewing the notifications that now exist in the IMI-system? Katja Virtanen 16.5.2017
2. Regulated professions database Official titles of the professions of the host MS/country of destination given in their own languages might not be up-to-date in the regulated professions database. Suggestions for improvements: To add the professional titles of the host MS/country of destination in their own languages in the IMI-system repository? If it is not reasonable to have the titles in two different places, the database could need at least, in some respect, updating? Katja Virtanen 16.5.2017
3. Day-to-day operation of the IMI-system by CAs when assessing the EPC application and defining/validating the documents All the benefits the IMI-system offers to contribute the cooperation between MSs are not fully achieved. Suggestions to benefit more from the IMI-system: Recall and emphasize the basis and the meaning of the EPC procedure, Make better use of the possibilities IMI-system offers. Katja Virtanen 16.5.2017
