We voted against the Van Brempt report on a European Area of Lifelong Learning because it is a good example of the unwarranted extension of European powers.
The report is based on Article 150 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, which provides for, in a vague and debatable manner, the implementation of a European vocational training policy ‘while fully respecting the responsibility of the Member States’. Then the report attempts to extend this competency to the rest of education. In particular, it proposes that the Commission should develop (albeit ‘acting in close collaboration with the Member States’) a ‘European framework of basic skills’ to be acquired by all students before they leave compulsory school education.
In such circumstances, the attempts to extend powers are never-ending. In addition, the European Parliament once again states that the current situation in the area of qualifications ‘constitutes a serious obstacle to mobility between Member States and the emergence of a Europe-wide labour market’ (recital F). Yet, we had been led to understand that the European labour market was already functioning. In reality, it is clear that, since the aim was that of full mobility in a totally unified labour market, it is the nations themselves which will soon become the obstacle."@en1
