1.InitsResolution of21January 1974 concerning asocial action
programme ,theCouncil oftheEuropean Communities requested theCommission
toestablish anaction programme formigrant workers .Thechief aims of
this programme aretoimprove theconditions offreedom ofmovement within
theCommunity ofworkers from Member States ,toimprove thesocial
infrastructure oftheIlember States which isindispensable forresolving
theproblems ofeducating andtraining migrant workers *childrer .fandto
achieve equality oftreatment forCommunity andnon-Community workers and
members oftheir families with regard toliving conditions .Itshould
also berecalled that oneofthetasks oftheCommunity istoabolish
restrictions onfreedom ofestablishment for nationals ofI'ember States on
theterritory oftheother Ilember States .
2.On19December 1974 "theCommission forwarded totheCouncil anAction
Programme formigrant workers andtheir families (C0Ii(74)225O ),which envisages
anumber ofmeasures concerning theeducation ofmigrant workers *children ..
Those measures include thefollowing :thedevelopment intho Jicnijcr States
ofreception andcrash training classes toassist themigrant workers *children to
settle into their newlinguistic andeducational environment ;theinclusion
ofcourses ,during normal school hours ,toenable these children to
retain their original culture andmother tongue ;therecruitment of

TheCommission realizesthatthenatureofthebicultural schooling tobe
