European Commission, 2016 - Proposal for a COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION on  the European Qualifications Framework for lifelong learning and repealing the Recommendation of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2008 on the establishment of the European Qualifications Framework for lifelong learning

The proposal seeks to further develop the EQF and make it more effective in facilitating understanding of national, international and third-country qualifications by employers, workers and learners. The  initiative  should  thus  contribute  to  a  better  use  of  available  skills  and  qualifications for the benefit of individuals, the labour market and the economy.
