esl in the eu: policy overview and development

Their better awareness of all the potential of the OMC could trigger their
more active involvement in the OMC process, either via their active par-
ticipation in the various OMC activities that were presented or by simply
considering different guidelines (e.g. Policy recommendations, Toolkit for
practitioners) already produced in the OMC framework in order to sup-
port policy-makers and practitioners in their efforts to tackle ESL alone or
by engaging in various forms of partnership. Their acquaintance can there-
fore represent a step forward not only towards a more open, participative,
accountable, effective and coherent OMC process but also towards more
open, participative, accountable, effective and coherent EU and national
policies against ESL through which they are framed.
