The importance of transparency and mutual recognition of diplomas as a crucial complement to the free movement of workers. The possibility of obtaining recognition of one’s qualifications and competences can play a vital role in the decision to take up work in another EU country. It is therefore necessary to develop a European system that will guarantee the mutual acceptance of professional competences in different Member States.
