28. 17. GREEN PAPER - PROMOTING THE LEARNING MOBILITY OF YOUNG PEOPLE Mr FIGEL' presented the Green Paper on promoting the learning mobility of young people which he was tabling for approval. He thanked the Commission members and their departments for the excellent cooperation shown in preparing the dossier. He pointed out that this was a horizontal initiative aimed not only at exploring the means of encouraging young people to take more advantage of the opportunities available to them for spending a period abroad but also at identifying the barriers to youth mobility and making proposals with a view to reinforcing programmes and setting up partnerships for youth mobility both inside and outside the EU. The initiative covered all aspects of education and training: school, university studies, work placements, apprenticeships, youth exchanges, volunteer work, vocational training and mobility for young entrepreneurs. It also covered all areas ­ technology, science, arts and sport. He referred to the meeting held on 28-29 April at Leuven and Louvain-la-Neuve of ministers or representatives in charge of higher education in the 46 countries participating in the Bologna Process. The ministers had formulated the goal that by 2020 at least 20% of those graduating in the European Higher Education Area final (8 July 2009) final 18 should have had a study or training period abroad. He spoke of the benefits of mobility, not only for enabling people to improve their knowledge of languages and intercultural skills and to develop their sense of European citizenship but also for increasing the international outlook and competitiveness of schools, universities and other educational establishments and businesses. He also pointed out the significant benefits for the European economy of a better qualified, more flexible workforce better equipped for the challenges posed by the economic crisis. The initiative would also have positive effects on European society as a whole, since youth exchanges would help not only to combat xenophobia, racism and the risks of isolationism but also to develop European awareness among young people. He emphasised that the medium and long-term goal was to create a single area of education, learning and training in Europe. With reference to Community initiatives and programmes, he told the meeting that in 2006 around 310 000 young people had participated in a Community exchange programme. He cited as an example the highly positive results of the launching of the Erasmus programme in 1987 and reminded the meeting that on 1 July the Commission had announced that around 10 000 projects would be financed by the Erasmus Mundus programme for the academic year 2009-2010. However, certain issues needed to be looked at in depth. These were how to increase the number of young people able to participate in the exchange programmes, how to further reinforce and systematise the programmes, particularly in areas other than university studies, how to cover additional dimensions such as culture, how to improve organisation of the financing of the programmes and how to reinforce volunteer programmes, bearing in mind that the Commission had declared 2011 the European Year of Volunteering.  i

De voorbereiding van het onderwijsgedeelte in de OJC-raad i gebeurt via het Onderwijscomité, een speciaal soort raadswerkgroep i op hoog ambtelijk niveau, die specifiek op de onderdelen onderwijs tot overeenstemming tracht te komen over voorstellen van de Commissie. Dit Onderwijscomité komt 1 à 2 keer per maand bijeen en wordt voorgezeten door het land dat op dat moment het Voorzitterschap van de EU bekleedt.

De leden van de Europese Commissie i vormen samen het College van Commissarissen. Zij werken op basis van collegialiteit: daarbij wordt uitgegaan van gelijkheid van de leden. Dit betekent dat de besluiten in gezamenlijk overleg worden genomen en dat alle leden collectief verantwoordelijk zijn.

Het College van Commissarissen is dus een collectief besluitvormingsorgaan dat met één enkele stem spreekt en naar buiten treedt.
