Modifications

The association has been operating in the market for many years and in the sole territory of Italy, it has 25 branches. The  Italian Authority  on  Fair Competition examined the case of the UEJM. Its advice was requested for the evaluation of the alleged connection with the Libera Università di Cultura Europea (LUCE) incorrectly indicated as an institution authorised to grant recognised degrees and qualifications in Italy. The Authority ruled that the ad appeared on the website was misleading. Afterwards, with the proceeding n. 15.346 of 11th of April 2006, the Italian Authority sanctioned the non-observance of the first measure and ruled the corresponding monetary fine. The Italian Ministry of University Scientific and Technical Research clarified that the qualifications awarded by this institution cannot be recognised in Italy for three main reasons: first of all, because the Italian branches are not affiliations of foreign accredited universities; secondly, because they are not accredited by the Italian Ministry; finally, because the UEJM is not recognised in the Belgian Higher Education system. It is important not to confuse the UEJM with the Libera Università Mediterranea ‘JeanMonnet’, located in Casamassima (Bari), which is an officially recognised institutionin Italy.
