"The Diploma Supplement is essentially an initiative of UNESCO-CEPES, the Council of Europe and the European Commission. In 1996, a working group was established in order "to examine.the introduction.of a European administrative annex to the diploma, the aim being to facilitate transparency and recognition in States other than in which they were dispensed" .
