Proposal for a decision
Recital 11
(11) Regulation (EU) 2016/589 of the European Parliament and of the Council31 establishes European Employment Services (EURES), a network of employment services and a mechanism for an automated matching of people to jobs through the EURES common IT platform. To enable the exchange and the matching of job vacancies with candidates, this mechanism needs a common and multilingual list of skills, competences and occupations. By developing ESCO the Commission is providing a multilingual classification system of occupations, skills and competences and qualifications that ismight be suited to this purpose after sufficient time is taken for ample testing, developing robust pilots and proceed to an in-depth evaluation. _________________ 31 OJ L 107, 22.4.2016, p. 1.
