From that date onwards, nu- merous texts and documents would gradually build a «European educational space». The Lisbon Strategy of 2000 is an important milestone in this process. The main reference point of the 21st century is the Education & Training 2010 Work Program, which sets a clear framework at the European level for education and training. Re- cently, there was a new turning point of great significance, with the approval of Europe 2020 and especially with the launching of the Rethinking Education strategy. We are facing continuities and changes that need to be analyzed carefully. That is what I intend to do in this article entitled «The Blindness of Europe: New Fabrica- tions in the European Educational Space». In the first section, I will recall the major turning points in educational policies in the last two decades.

  • Joint Letter to the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs And
    Joint letter to the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, and Vice President of the European Commission and the European Commissioners for Development and Trade 5 December 2013 Dear Catherine Ashton, Andris Piebalgs and Karel de Gucht, First, we very much welcome the opportunity to regularly discuss “policy coherence for development” (PCD) during Foreign Affairs Council (DEV) meetings, in particular during the upcoming meeting that will be held on December 12th. But whilst substantial progress has been made over the past years, we believe more can be done to mainstream PCD across non- development policies, notably across trade policies. We would like also to take the opportunity to thank you for the organization of the next Informal Meeting of EU Experts on Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) in January. In this context, with the EPAs currently being negotiated between the EU and ACP regions precisely conceived as both trade and development tools, we want to highlight that the negotiations between the EU and ACP regions are at a critical stage for us all to be constructively supportive in pursuit of our joint objectives. As you know, our States have always supported development-oriented EPAs. Based on a shared commitment to a trade and development partnership between the EU and the ACP countries and regions, EPAs will promote regional integration and integration into the world economy, and enhance predictability and secure legal certainty. We remain convinced that these gradual and asymmetrical trade liberalization agreements, negotiated on a regional basis, and coupled with targeted co-operation and assistance to help ACP countries implement them, could have a significant positive impact on our partner countries.

Working Papers describe research in progress by the author(s) and are published to elicit comments and to further debate. This paper reviews the history of the introduction of the Estonian kroon under a currency board arrangement. On June 20, 1992, Estonia became the first country from the former Soviet Union to abandon the Russian ruble and introduce its own currency, The paper looks at the factors behind this decision and discusses the implementation of the currency reform. It then assesses the economic impact of the reform and also compares Estonia's experience with that of its Baltic neighbors, It concludes that although the currency board arrangement made an important contribution to the early success of Estonia's economic stabilization and reform program, the underlying financial and structural policies were crucial for that success, JEL Classification Numbers: E63, E65.

  • Message of European Commissioner Ms Androulla Vassiliou Responsible for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth
    Message of European Commissioner Ms Androulla Vassiliou responsible for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth I would like to thank the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Cyprus for inviting me to the Conference on “Quality Assurance and Recognition in Higher Education: Challenges and Prospects”. Unfortunately because of other obligations, I am not able to be present at the Conference; however I send my warmest greetings to all participants. It is a great satisfaction to see my country Cyprus, to be leading such initiatives in order to promote quality in higher education. The Conference is expected to enhance the dialogue between Europe and Asia, a valuable partner in higher education, on issues regarding quality assurance and recognition. Moreover, the Conference will give the opportunity to Senior Officials and Experts to exchange experiences, expertise and good practices. As governments in most parts of the world have considered their agenda for higher education over the last few decades, issues of quality assurance and quality enhancement have been a major focus of attention. Quality assurance is a key priority and it can be achieved by keeping in mind the issues of relevance, costs, equity and international standards. Quality assurance systems have to meet the challenges created through the rapid development of the knowledge and information based society. They can best do so by facilitating institutions to evolve towards a culture of quality. Quality assurance is vital for making higher education attractive and trustworthy, in line with the objectives of the EU modernization agenda for higher education and the Bologna Process. Globalization, economic integration and increased academic and professional mobility are making mutual recognition and cross-border quality assurance increasingly important.
