Free movement of persons: mobility for students, persons undergoing training, young volunteers, teachers, trainers

The European Parliament adopted the report by Robert EVANS (PES, UK) on mobility for students within the Community. The proposal is amended to include research workers. Language and cultural barriers need to be reduced, and certain financial constraints should be abolished. The amended proposal makes provision for the reduction of bureaucratic obstacles to receiving rights of residence in the host country. Amendments are also introduced on the mutual recognition of qualifications, and the importance of involving the candidate countries.�
