Text tabled : A7-0035/2012

  Vilja Savisaar-Toomast (ALDE), in writing. – (ET) One of the principal objectives of the Bologna process is to create a so-called European Higher Education Area, mainly by harmonising standards for academic degrees and quality assurance throughout Europe. The problem that European universities do not recognise each other’s academic degrees, academic titles or the duration of periods of study still exists today. Luigi Berlinguer’s report on the contribution of the European institutions to the consolidation and progress of the Bologna process is one step towards the solution of these problems, and therefore I voted in favour of this report.
