By assigning to the European Union the goal of becoming “the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world”, the Lisbon strategy stresses the value of training by formal certificates and diplomas and the use of new instruments promoted or developed at European level.

The new Community policies, initiated since a decade, no longer confined to this narrow context. Their implementation required to promote new methods of work at the European level, to reconcile these policies with the competence of member countries in education and training. The purpose of the European actions about qualifications seems ambiguous: coordination of national qualifications systems or promotion of a more uniform European model?
