In line with recent conferences at Community level on higher education (Leuven in 1989 and Siena in 1990) and recognizing that a significant debate is being launched by the Cornmission memorandum on higher education in the European Community, arrangements for quality assessment in higher education on a national level could be examined at Community level, with a view to reinforcing national quality assessment systems and to providing a way to improve the mutual recognition of diplomas and periods of study.
