EESC President Georges Dassis meets with Labour Minister Giuliano Poletti

The President of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC), Georges Dassis, will be a guest at the Luci sul lavoro (Spotlight on work) festival in Montepulciano, where he will meet with the Italian Minister for Labour and Social Policy, Giuliano Poletti (Thursday 7 July), and take part in the workshop on Economic governance of the European Union and strengthening the social pillar: how to combine stability, growth and jobs (Friday 8 July at 10.30 a.m.).

Strengthening the social pillar is a central part of the work of the European Economic and Social Committee, which, in cooperation with the European Commission, is preparing to engage in a number of fact-finding missions on the social rights situation in the different European Union Member States. It is also a key element of Georges Dassis’ programme for his term as president.
