A high-level, independent task force on skills and mobility says in its report presented to the European Commission in December 2001 that there are still too many obstacles to real labour mobility in the EU. The report, which diagnoses the main problem areas and presents a series of recommendations, calls for more and better basic language training, ICT skills, simpler systems for transferring pensions and social security rights and an overhaul of systems to regulate professions and recognise skills and experience acquired in another member state. Simple lack of information about job options abroad can also be a problem. |
