European Language Council ELC – Berlin Declaration (June 2001)
Against the background of the European Year of Languages, the ELC points to the basic truth that the European Higher Education Area can only be achieved if students are encouraged and enabled to develop multilingual and intercultural knowledge and skills. It is the specific responsibility of universities to provide the necessary programmes and facilities to students, regardless of the latters’ field of specialisation. To ensure transparency, comparability and credit-transfer, the national and institutional objectives should be based on the Council of Europe’s Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
