On 24 October 2007, the European Parliament adopted a European Qualifications Framework for lifelong learning, aimed at promoting mobility on the labour market and the recognition of (non-formal and informal) vocational /professional qualifications in Europe. The EQF supplements the existing qualifications frameworks for vocational education and training (EQVET) and the higher education qualifications framework. Apart from the idea o rendering lifelong learning skills and competencies more transparent, it intends to promote lifelong learning opportunities also for disadvantaged groups.
