A conference of the European ministers for higher education, to which the honourable Member refers, was held in Bergen on 19 and 20 May 2005. The communiqué from that conference does not provide for a list of universities whose degrees are not recognised.
The same observation applies to the Bologna process, as a whole, even though that process developed outside the Community framework.
More generally, with regard to the recognition of degrees awarded in the other Member States, the Commission would refer to the provisions of Article 149 of the Treaty, which stipulate that the organisation of the education system falls within the competence of the Member States. This recognition is governed by the national law of each Member State.
Furthermore, the Commission would point out that a degree recognition information network – NARIC – which has offices in every Member State, has been set up with the help of the European Union. Interested citizens can go to these offices to obtain reliable information on the nature and value of the degrees awarded by every European university.
Finally, on 5 September 2006, the Commission adopted a proposal for a recommendation establishing the European qualification framework (EQF). Although it is not binding, this proposal, which is currently under discussion in the Council and Parliament, calls on the Member States to establish a correspondence between the different qualification levels.
That is the response that Mr Figuel' prepared for you, and I should like once again to thank you for your question."@en1
