Now concluded, the European Summit of June has brought together the Heads of State who have agreed on collective measures to ensure the stability and prosperity of Europe in order to enhance the welfare of the EU citizens. Growth, investments and jobs are crucial topics in which efforts must be directed: innovative measures and activities to foster growth, investments in human capital to encourage the boost of a competent workforce and jobs’ creation and transformation that must take into account the societal challenges to match up properly the new demands. Part of those required investments will be able to come from the Structural Funds allocation as the EU Member States will have the possibility to use them for fostering knowledge and skills activities, among other priorities. In addition to an upcoming launch of a Second Single Market Act, the mobility of professionals has been again highlighted as a fundamental tool for EU’s recovery and therefore, the recognition of qualifications and the current modernisation process remain of paramount importance.
