• I am honoured to be invited to comment on
  your initiative from the perspective of
  international recognition of qualifications. Let
  me start by stating that such an initiative of
  setting up a joint degree and joint diploma
  deserves all possible encouragement. It is an
  example of recognition in practice in its finest
  form, from which student mobility in Europe can
  only benefit.  I can whole-heartedly support
  the conclusion of the Italian NARIC that is
  mentioned in the letter and endorse the proposed
  procedure. In my opinion it contains the elements
  necessary from the point of view of foreign
  credential evaluators or admissions officers.
