summary
The European Parliament adopted a resolution based on the report by Christa PRETS (PES, DE) and following agreement on the text with the Council and the Commission. The three institutions confirmed that the Charter, in the respective languages of the recipients, should be readily available to all students and persons undergoing training by the authorities, organisations and other stakeholders involved in mobility in countries of origin and host countries, and should be treated as a basic reference framework. Clear information should be provided on each of the points contained in the Mobility Charter, about the role and tasks of the sending and hosting organisations and about the various education and training systems. The Charter should also allow for the specific needs of people with disabilities and for disadvantaged groups. Attention should be paid to the issue of the portability of loans, grants and social security benefits.The Commission was invited to encourage the use of the Charter by the National Agencies and other organisations working in the field of education and training and mobility. It should also to improve or develop gender specific statistical data on mobility for education and training purposes. Parliament amendments also emphasised the following:- a learning plan is particularly important in the case of long-term mobility and may also be useful in that of short-term mobility. Any significant modification of the learning plan should be agreed by all parties. When drawing up the learning plan, the issues of reintegration into the home country and evaluation should be borne in mind. In the learning plan the sending organisation should undertake to recognise successful periods of mobility;- logistical support should include information on the portability of government grants and loans from the country of origin to the host country;- in order to enable the participant to demonstrate active participation and learning outcomes, the use of the "Europass" should be encouraged.

summary
Pending European Parliament’s first reading on the proposed Recommendation on transnational mobility within the Community for education and training: “European Quality Charter for Mobility”, the Council agreed upon a general approach to the draft Recommendation.To recall, the proposal builds on the “Education and training 2010” work programme, establishing a common set of principles aimed at increasing efficiency in all organised mobility for learning purposes.Under the Erasmus programme over 1 million young people have studied in another Member State as part of their studies, thereby helping to increase an understanding of cultural and linguistic diversity as well as to create a European area of education and training in accordance with the objectives of the Lisbon strategy. This kind of mobility ensures that the Erasmus programme is one of the most visible and most recognised by EU citizens. The proposed Charter consists of ten practical and easily accessible guidelines covering the period from departure, stay and return. The ten guidelines refer to: information and guidance; learning plan; personalisation; general preparation; linguistic aspects; logistical support; and mentoring.

summary
PURPOSE : proposal to adopt a European Quality Charter for Mobility, laying down a set of principles in the field of mobility for education and training purposes. PROPOSED ACT : Recommendation of the European Parliament and of the Council.CONTENT : Mobility in education and training is an integral part of the freedom of movement of persons and one of the main objectives of the EU’s action in the field of education and vocational training. It is an essential tool for creating a European area of education and training and for developing European awareness. Mobility issues have been incorporated within the general “Education and Training 2010” work programme which is the education and training strand of the Lisbon Strategy. Under this programme, Member States and the Commission cooperate on policy issues related to education and training.The objectives of this proposal are, in essence:-to lay down a common statement of principles whose use will lead to greater efficiency and effectiveness in all types of organised mobility for learning purposes;-more specifically, to provide a reference point for all stakeholders within the integrated lifelong learning programme proposed by the Commission for the period 2007 to 2013.The Recommendation consists of ten guidelines, addressed mainly to the sending and receiving organisations responsible for mobility. These may be summarised as follows:Before departure: Ensure that participants have access to reliable sources of guidance and information on opportunities and conditions for mobility; draw up a learning plan, which will provide a framework for mobility; ensure prior preparation of the participant, in particular linguistic preparation, and ensure that the mobility experience contributes to personal and professional development.During the stay in the host country: Provide linguistic and logistical support for participants, including information and/or assistance on travel, insurance, residence requirements, social security, social services, tax issues, lodging, etc; appoint a mentor to provide support and advice to help the participant integrate properly.After the period of mobility: Ensure the recognition or certification of diplomas obtained or periods ofstudies/training carried out; assist participants back into their social, educational or professional environments, in particular after long-term mobility; assess the outcome of the mobility and advise participants, on return, how best to use the competences acquired abroad.Generally: Be clear about who is responsible for acting upon the various parts of the Recommendation.The Charter should be regarded as "universal" in the sense that it covers all the possible types of educational mobility: formal and non-formal learning; short and long periods; school, university and on-the-job learning; young and adult learners, etc. This means that its text is inevitably generic; it is not possible, within such a short text, to cover all possible cases. Its principles will thus have to be adapted to circumstances, and in specific cases, some of its points will be more or less appropriate. The principles contained in the Charter provide a European reference to be tailored to particular cases.Finally, the proposed Recommendation complements Recommendation 2001/613/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 July 2001 on mobility within the Community for students, persons undergoing training, volunteers, teachers and trainers.
