Thus, the trend is towards reformation of the national educational systems. On 19 June 1999, 29 European Ministers in charge of higher education were gathered in Bologna in Italy to discuss and merge the architecture of the European Higher Education System and planed to establish the European Area of Higher Education by 2010. The so-call Bologna Process means the main purpose of the reformation is to pursue convergence and internationalization. The establishment of the European Union has pushed forward the depth and width of European integration. The principle of subsidiarity is concerned with distribution of power, in which tension between centralization and devolution of power has always been inherent. The principle was adopted within the European Community as a mechanism to mediate the division of power between the Community and Member States, and try to de-fuse political conflict.
