Unesco, OECD, the Council of Europe, the European Community and the Nordic Council of Ministers1 for their highly informative contributions to the Progress Report on "European cooperation of education";2 ii. Mr. Vanbergen for his perceptive introduction to this report; 3. RECOMMEND that the Progress Report should be distributed as widely as possible among policy-makers not only in the educational but also in the social, cultural, and economic sectors; 4. STRESS the importance of educational policy as an essential element of European cooperation and the need for greater concentration on effort and more significant effects; 5. REAFFIRM therefore their profound belief in the value of the Standing Conference which allows Ministers, senior officials, and representatives of the Organisations to take stock of the progress of European cooperation on education, to exchange views on common problems and developments, and to identify priority areas for European action and cooperation.
