"Mr President, I think this has been an extremely good debate which marks the launch of a very important project, which I think is timely, necessary and, as others have pointed out, is a platform for this and future generations.
It is essential for the working of the single market, it is essential for Europe’s social development, it is essential for the ability of Europe’s citizens to cope with fast changing economic and labour market change. It is a passport to personal advancement as well as society’s integration. It has been a very constructive and harmonious debate – apart, I suppose, from the intervention of one compatriot who allowed his mixture of gross exaggeration and overstatement, tinged with a fair amount of ideological prejudice, totally to misrepresent what is being envisaged and proposed.
This is a recommendation, and is exactly that – it is voluntary. The EQF will not award qualifications: that remains up to countries, universities and other institutions, which remain autonomous. There will be an EQF reference level on qualifications, for example on level 4, but national level will also be on qualification.
So I am glad to be able to welcome this consensus – notwithstanding one individual – in this Parliament and Council behind the EQF legislative proposal, that this is reflected at the national level, where we see a serious momentum in building national qualifications frameworks."@en1
