Purpose of the national point and its connection with the European Commission

The SQF-EQF National Coordination Point (NQF SQF-EQF) was appointed in October 2009 at the initiative of the European Commission and the Recommendations of the European Parliament and the Council of the EU on the establishment of the European Qualifications Framework for lifelong learning (23 April 2008).
