lpv:translated text	"Recognition of citizens’ knowledge, skills and competence is indispensable for the European Union’s competitiveness and for social cohesion, as well as for individual citizens’ mobility. Participation in lifelong learning and access to lifelong learning for all, including the disadvantaged, must be fostered and improved at both national and Community level. Young people, adults, immigrants and manual labourers throughout Europe who have informally acquired skills that have never been recognised must be encouraged to participate in lifelong learning programmes, thus avoiding social and labour-market exclusion of these groups. To do all this, an important role can be played by a common reference framework that serves as a translation device between different qualification systems and their levels, whether for general and higher education or for vocational education and training. This will increase the transparency, comparability and mobility of citizens’ qualifications in different Member States. The task of the reference framework is to integrate and coordinate national qualifications systems, to ensure non-discrimination, to increase access and progression of qualifications in relation to civil society and the labour market. In the interests of ending the segregation that exists in education, I support the initiation of measures to provide information and engage in social dialogue. I also think it is important to recognise informal learning acquired by workers, in order to enable them to change jobs more easily. The European Union must become a knowledge-based society well prepared to meet the challenges of globalisation. In such a society, citizens of each Member State must adjust to meet the needs of a competitiveness-driven labour market. For this reason, learning will be a fundamental prerequisite for all age groups."@en1
