EESC Opinion on minimum income: Employers' Group for a pragmatic and efficient approach

Statement of the President of the Employers' Group

On 20 February 2019 the EESC adopted an opinion calling for an EU framework directive on minimum income. The Employers' Group fully shares the view of the EESC that fighting against poverty is a necessity. However, for us the instrument proposed in the opinion is not the correct one. For this reason, the Group tabled a counter-opinion, presenting its views on measures needed to reduce poverty. The counter opinion was supported by almost 40% of the EESC Members.

Lo studio dimostra che il fatto di evitare una regolamentazione stringente nel mercato interno dei servizi transfrontalieri costituisce un vantaggio per l'economia dell'Unione europea.
