European Skill Passport
The European Council has made a call for the development of a European Skills Passport. This passport should help citizens make their skills visible on the labour market and support their transitions within and between lifelong learning and the labour market. To explore the feasibility of a European Skills Passport, the European Commission has asked Danish Technological Institute to launch a study with the purpose of gathering opinions from stakeholders about content and handling of a future Skills Passport document. Download the Questionnaire, fill it in and send it to Karsten Frøhlich Hougaard at kafh@dti.dk
European Commission - Register of Interest Representatives
In an attempt to ensure that the European Union is "open to public scrutiny", the European Commission launched a register for interest representatives. Companies, business associations, consultancies as well as civil society organisations that engage in "activities carried out with the objective of influencing the policy formulation and decision-making processes of the European institutions" are encouraged to register in a voluntary online register ( http://ec.europa.eu/transparency/docs/reg)
The CSCG (Civil Society Contact Group) and ALTER-EU (Alliance for Lobbying Transparency & Ethics Regulation) have criticised the register as much of the required information is insufficient or questionable (click here for a deeper insight on their position) . They have therefore decided to adopt a higher standard of transparency and to register all the same. EUCIS and CSCG invite all Associates to do the same, following the CSCG Lobby Register Guidelines.
With support from the European Union.
