"If all goes well, all master's and bachelor degrees studied in the Benelux countries from next year will automatically be mutually recognised," said Prime Minister Xavier Bettel on Monday at a press conference following the Benelux summit in Schengen.

Bettel also stressed that the work on the relevant bill is nearing completion. The mutual automatic recognition of diplomas should come as a great relief for many students. For the Prime Minister, the measure is also a successful example of cutting red tape.
