EMLE: A JOINT DEGREE? (2)
• UNTIL MID-2010 A JOINT DEGREE WAS NOT POSSIBLE, DUE TO THE DUTCH LAW!

CONCLUSION

- YES, FOR SURE!• A JOINT DEGREE (THE DOCUMENT)? - NOT YET, BUT WORKING ON THIS,
DEPENDS ON NATIONAL LEGISLATION• A JOINT QUALIFICATION?
- IF WE HAVE THE JOINT DEGREE, AND IF ALLOWED BY ALL PARTNER COUNTRIES
