Cross-border commuting will only be fully available to border workers if their diplomas are mutually recognised - this should happen with no additional costs or delays.

The Benelux countries will sign on 25 January, in the margins of the first ever EU Education Summit a new ministerial declaration on the automatic recognition of degrees of higher education.

One step in the right direction to ease cross-border commuting and provide more opportunities to match vacancies with job seekers.

Well done Benelux !
