"Europe has always put student mobility at the heart of its priorities since the creation of the Erasmus programme in 1987. In 2010, more than 2 million students had benefited from European funding to go and study in another Member State of the European Union.
However, there is little point in encouraging young people to study or work abroad if the countries do not recognise the degrees and experience they gained during that period. Therefore, the Bologna process, launched in 1999, was designed to eliminate, by 2010, all of the administrative obstacles to the recognition of degrees and ensure the harmonisation of university standards. Unfortunately, some countries have been slow to act and countless students now find themselves in inextricable situations due to the absence of effective harmonisation. This situation harms not only those involved but also the image of the European institutions, which are accused of being inconsistent.
Parliament is today assessing the efforts that need to be made to consolidate the progress of the Bologna process. It is now up to the Member States and the universities to step up to the mark and meet the very high expectations of our fellow citizens."@en1
