Abstract

In this paper the author analyzes how the European Community claims educational responsibilities. After portraying Article 128 of the EEC Treaty as the only provision which refers directly to education the author argues that “there are some other – though indirect or hidden – educational competences implied in the EEC Treaty”. Thus, he identifies for example the right of freedom of movement for workers as one hidden competence. In this context he discusses the Gravier judgement of 1985 as well as the Lawrie-Blum judgement of the European Court in 1986. Furthermore, he discusses the impact of European Community law on educational policies of its member states, whereby he takes ERASMUS as one example. (DIPF/ ssch) Document type: Book
