Abstract: The introduction of the ECVET (European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training) is the logical continuation of the Bologna Decree of 1999, according to which, amongst other things, the harmonization of the European education systems – and consequently the mobility of European job seekers - is to be promoted. On the basis of the European economic integration process, in particular via the introduction of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and the currently unfavourable situation of the labour market, we elucidate the need for action with regard to the implementation of the ECVET. The focus of our observations is thereby on the necessity of the mobility of the production factor “labour”. In conclusion, first potential solutions for dealing with the problems of implementation are given.
