The report consists of four chapters. After the introductory chapter on context, aims and principles, there follow chapters on standards and guidelines for quality assurance; a peer review system for quality assurance agencies; and future perspectives and challenges. The main results and recommendations of the report are: There will be European standards for internal and external quality assurance, and for external quality assurance agencies. European quality assurance agencies will be expected to submit themselves to a cyclical review within five years. There will be an emphasis on subsidiarity, with reviews being undertaken nationally where possible. A European register of quality assurance agencies will be produced. A European Register Committee will act as a gatekeeper for the inclusion of agencies in the register. A European Consultative Forum for Quality Assurance in Higher Education will be established.
