SCOPE OF THE TREATY .
18 IN VIEW OF THIS DIFFERENCE OF OPINION IT IS FIRST NECESSARY TO DEFINE PRECISELY THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM . IN THE FIRST PLACE , THE QUESTIONS REFERRED CONCERN NEITHER THE ORGANIZATION OF EDUCATION NOR EVEN ITS FINANCING , BUT RATHER THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A FINANCIAL BARRIER TO ACCESS TO EDUCATION FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS ONLY . SECONDLY , THEY CONCERN A PARTICULAR TYPE OF EDUCATION , REFERRED TO AS ' VOCATIONAL TRAINING ' IN THE FIRST QUESTION AND AS ' A COURSE IN STRIP CARTOON ART ' IN THE SECOND QUESTION .
19 THE FIRST REMARK WHICH MUST BE MADE IN THAT REGARD IS THAT ALTHOUGH EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATION AND POLICY ARE NOT AS SUCH INCLUDED IN THE SPHERES WHICH THE TREATY HAS ENTRUSTED TO THE COMMUNITY INSTITUTIONS , ACCESS TO AND PARTICIPATION IN COURSES OF INSTRUCTION AND APPRENTICESHIP , IN PARTICULAR VOCATIONAL TRAINING , ARE NOT UNCONNECTED WITH COMMUNITY LAW .
20 ARTICLE 7 OF REGULATION NO 1612/68 OF THE COUNCIL OF 15 OCTOBER 1968 ON FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT FOR WORKERS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY ( OFFICIAL JOURNAL , ENGLISH SPECIAL EDITION 1968 ( II ), P . 475 ) PROVIDES THAT A WORKER WHO IS A NATIONAL OF A MEMBER STATE AND WHO IS EMPLOYED IN ANOTHER MEMBER STATE IS TO HAVE ACCESS TO TRAINING IN VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS AND RETRAINING CENTRES IN THAT COUNTRY BY VIRTUE OF THE SAME RIGHT AND UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS AS NATIONAL WORKERS . ARTICLE 12 OF THE REGULATION PROVIDES THAT THE CHILDREN OF SUCH WORKERS ARE TO BE ADMITTED TO THAT STATE ' S GENERAL EDUCATIONAL APPRENTICESHIP AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING COURSES UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS AS THE NATIONALS OF THAT STATE .
21 WITH REGARD MORE PARTICULARLY TO VOCATIONAL TRAINING , ARTICLE 128 OF THE TREATY PROVIDES THAT THE COUNCIL IS TO LAY DOWN GENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR IMPLEMENTING A COMMON VOCATIONAL TRAINING POLICY CAPABLE OF CONTRIBUTING TO THE HARMONIOUS DEVELOPMENT BOTH OF THE NATIONAL ECONOMIES AND OF THE COMMON MARKET . THE FIRST PRINCIPLE ESTABLISHED IN COUNCIL DECISION NO 63/266/EEC OF 2 APRIL 1963 LAYING DOWN THOSE GENERAL PRINCIPLES ( OFFICIAL JOURNAL , ENGLISH SPECIAL EDITION 1963-1964 , P . 25 ) STATES THAT ' THE GENERAL PRINCIPLES MUST ENABLE EVERY PERSON TO RECEIVE ADEQUATE TRAINING , WITH DUE REGARD FOR FREEDOM OF CHOICE OF OCCUPATION , PLACE OF TRAINING AND PLACE OF WORK ' .
22 THE PARTICULAR ATTENTION WHICH THE COMMUNITY INSTITUTIONS HAVE GIVEN TO PROBLEMS OF ACCESS TO VOCATIONAL TRAINING AND ITS IMPROVEMENT THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY MAY BE SEEN , MOREOVER , IN THE ' GENERAL GUIDELINES ' WHICH THE COUNCIL LAID DOWN IN 1971 FOR DRAWING UP A COMMUNITY PROGRAMME ON VOCATIONAL TRAINING ( OFFICIAL JOURNAL , ENGLISH SPECIAL EDITION , SECOND SERIES IX , P . 50 ), IN THE RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL AND OF THE MINISTERS FOR EDUCATION MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL OF 13 DECEMBER 1976 CONCERNING MEASURES TO BE TAKEN TO IMPROVE THE PREPARATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE FOR WORK AND
