Although the levels of both the tasks and the performances have been assigned on the basis of the agreement amongst the different project partners, it cannot be said that they have been empirically linked to the CEF. Detailed procedures on how to relate exams to the CEF levels can be found in the Manual available at: http://www.coe.int/T/E/Cultural_
