A technical working group (TWG) was
established where some member
states, the Commission, candidate
countries, EFTA-EEA countries and
the European social partners were

The TWG developed a model and
operational instruments for quality
on Vet.

The Common Quality
Assurance Framework (CQAF)
The Education Council
Conclusions (5/2004)
