A socially sustainable concept for raising living standards, boosting growth and employment, as citizens' security in the digital era (Exploratory opinion requested by the Bulgarian Presidency)

Adottati on 14/03/2018
Riferimento: 
SOC/568-EESC-2017-05563-00-00-AC-TRA
Rapporteur: 
Giulia BARBUCCI (Workers - GR II / Italy)

Social sustainability is achieved through the reaffirmation of the role and value of the European social model, which represents the identity and specificity of our continent and which guarantees high social protection and citizenship rights for all. There is a clear connection between competitiveness, productivity and social sustainability: all stakeholders must commit themselves to promoting inclusive growth and at the same time foster conditions that are favourable for the world of enterprise, with the aim of creating more and better jobs.

Rapporteur: 
Michael MCLOUGHLIN (Diversity Europe - GR III / Ireland)

This opinion is on the revision of the Guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States, which provide common priorities and targets for employment policies of the Member States.

The European Commission has proposed to amend the 2015 Guidelines, to align the text with the principles of the European pillar of social rights.

They are adopted in the context of the European Employment Strategy, and form, together with the Guidelines for the Economic Policies of the Member States and of the EU, the Integrated Guidelines.

Impact of the social dimension and the European Pillar of Social Rights on the Future of the European Union

Adottati on 19/10/2017
Riferimento: 
SOC/564-EESC-2017-02692-00-00-AC-TRA
Referral: 
COM(2017) 206 final COM(2017) 206 final COM(2017) 206 final COM(2017) 250 final COM(2017) 251 final
Rapporteur:

Co-rapporteur: 
Jukka AHTELA (Finland)

Delivering on balanced economic growth and social progress should be the guiding principle for the debate on the social dimension of Europe. A clear road map for the implementation of European Pillar of Social Rights is advisable with clear assignment of tasks coupled with accountability. The social dimension debate is connected to the debate on deepening the EMU. Social policy has to be embedded in a different EU economic policy. A strong EU can shape globalisation and digitalisation to the benefit of all.

European Pillar of Social Rights

Adottati on 25/01/2017
Riferimento: 
SOC/542-EESC-2016-01902-00-04-ac
Referral: 
COM(2016) 127 final COM(2016) 127 final
Rapporteur: 
Gabriele BISCHOFF (/Germany), Luca JAHIER (Diversity Europe - GR III/Italy), Jacek KRAWCZYK (Employers - GR I/Poland) (Germany)

The EESC adopted this opinion after in-depth work carried out during the four meetings of the study group. The opinion also reflects the national debates with civil society organisations carried out in all Member States between 2 September and 2 November 2016. These discussions were coordinated by three members of the EESC ('trios') from the country concerned, often in cooperation with the European Commission (15 debates) or the national economic and social council (7 debates). Participants came from a wide range of employers' and trade union organisations and other civil society organisations, as well as, to a lesser extent, from the academic world. A total of 116 EESC members and nearly 1,800 representatives of civil society organisations participated in the 28 debates. The conclusions/recommendations of the national debates have been grouped in the opinion, while the reports on the national debates will be published separately.
