Lisbon Recognition Convention - Convention Bodies

Convention Bodies

The Convention established two bodies which oversee, promote and facilitate the implementation of the Convention:

  2. the European Network of Information Centres on Academic Mobility and Recognition (the ENIC Network).

The Committee is responsible for promoting the application of the Convention and overseeing its implementation. To this end, it can adopt, by a majority of the Signatory Parties, recommendations, declarations, protocols and models of good practice to guide the competent authorities of the Parties. Before making its decisions, the Committee seeks the opinion of the ENIC Network. As for the ENIC Network, it upholds and assists the practical implementation of the Convention by the competent national authorities.

Famous quotes containing the words convention and/or bodies:

    “By convention there is color, by convention sweetness, by
    convention bitterness, but in reality there are atoms and space.”
    —Democritus (c. 460–400 B.C.)

    “At first,
    our bodies were as one.
    Then
    you were unloving,
    but I still played the wretched favorite.
    Now
    you’re the master
    and we’re the wife.
    What’s next?
    This is the fruit I reap
    from my diamond-hard life.”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
