European Commission wants common qualifications between member states to facilitate access to the labor market

Correio da Manhã5 September 2026 at 15:53

The European Commission is proposing the creation of a "European Diploma" that would allow common qualifications between the member states of the European Union. This measure aims to facilitate access to the labor market for qualified professionals in other European countries.

Currently, professionals who wish to practice their activity outside the country where they obtained their training are required to request equivalences so that their diplomas are recognized. This process can be bureaucratic and time-consuming, creating barriers to labor mobility within Europe.

With the new European Diploma, the Commission intends to eliminate or significantly simplify this qualification recognition process. The idea is that certain courses and training programs are automatically recognized in all member states, allowing professionals to work more easily in their field of training in another country of the Union.

This proposal is part of the broader context of strengthening the European single market and promoting professional mobility between member countries, responding to the needs for qualified labor in various economic sectors.
