Crianças

The European Commission's proposal for a comprehensive European care strategy that should guarantee to all Europeans the possibility of receiving high quality healthcare and care service throughout their lifetime has been met with approval by the EESC

A steep rise in child and forced labour as well as continued exploitation of workers across the globe make EU action on decent work ever more urgent, according to an EESC hearing.

The Commission's initiatives on a European child guarantee and an EU Strategy on the rights of the child call on European and national policy-makers to work toward the common good of all children growing up in the EU. Ambitious and bold in their approach to ensuring a life free from any discrimination for each and every child, both initiatives have won the EESC's approval.

Graças à sua ambição arrojada de assegurar a todas as crianças uma vida livre de discriminação e intimidação e de quebrar o ciclo do desfavorecimento multigeracional, as duas novas iniciativas abrangentes da UE em matéria de direitos da criança têm recebido reações positivas. No entanto, uma audição do CESE revelou que nem todos estão convencidos de que a sua execução nos Estados-Membros seja tão harmoniosa como se espera.
