"Madam President, I voted in favour of this report by Mr Berlinguer because it will be very good and important for the European Higher Education Area and its development. The Bologna process has been a success story. The objective therein proposed by Mr Berlinguer himself – and, of course, he was one of the ministers who set this process in motion at the Sorbonne back in 1998-1999 – that all EU nationals could be on the same starting line in terms of qualifications and thus be placed in employment in different areas of the internal market and beyond, and that there should be equivalence between qualifications, is an excellent one, and we should work towards it.
A total of 47 countries are party to the process. We all know that the European Union’s power is based on open coordination, and that is what is being employed here. We also need to remember that it is the Member States that have the ultimate power.
The British university and higher education system has benefited from this. The British have been very keen on this, and so it now seems a bit odd that the British Tories are opposed to it. Is it not now the case, my Tory friends, that you are opposed to everything connected with the EU? This is a success story, it is good for a united Europe, and it is not beyond anyone’s reach – quite the contrary."@en1
