Brussels, 29 May 2006
The Council adopted a decision approving the signature of an agreement between the EU and the USA renewing the cooperation programme in the field of higher education and vocational education and training (9019/1/06).
The agreement replaces the 2000 agreement between the EU and the USA renewing a programme of cooperation in higher education and vocational education and training.
It is aimed at:
- promoting mutual understanding between the peoples of the EU and the USA including broader knowledge of their languages, cultures and institutions; and
- improve the quality of human resource development in both the EU and the USA, including the acquisition of skills required to meet the challenges of the global knowledge-based economy.
The agreement will be concluded for eight years and may be extended or amended by mutual written agreement.
