"There can be no doubt that increased cohesion between European citizens depends on their mobility, mutual acquaintance, understanding and acceptance of cultural diversity.
Knowledge of languages and recognition of educational methods and systems are crucial to fostering the mobility of European citizens. Vocational training is a particularly important aspect of this, and one which brings us closer to achieving the aims of the Lisbon Strategy.
Considering the issue under discussion from this point of view, I would encourage Member States of the Union to:
1. Create the conditions necessary for at least two of the national languages of the Member States of the Union to be taught at secondary school level, in addition to the mother tongue.
2. Ensure vocational training is provided with the support of local economic bodies and organisations, as these are best placed to understand the economic needs of their country. The development of cooperation between relevant bodies in EU countries will allow them to work with their governments to devise and take responsibility for vocational training tailored to the needs of the whole EU.
3. Introduce a twin-track training system at the earliest opportunity. This means devoting half the time to theory and half to practical vocational training. The so-called old Fifteen and the new Member States of the EU are equally responsible for efforts to promote increased mobility.
In addition, appropriate financial support is essential to achieve greater mobility and better vocational training within the EU."@en1
