On 25 September 2019, the European Economic and Social Committee voted on the opinion SOC/614 – The European Pillar of Social Rights – evaluation of the initial implementation and recommendations for the future. The document was adopted with 117 votes for, 44 votes against and 3 abstentions.

That is also why the members of the Employers' Group tabled over 40 amendments to the opinion.

Študija, ki jo je naročil Evropski ekonomsko-socialni odbor, kaže, da čezmejne storitve ustvarjajo nova delovna mesta in gospodarsko rast. Čezmejne storitve so pozitivne za vse države EU in različna delovna mesta, tako delovno kot znanjsko intenzivna. Študija dokazuje, da izogibanje strogemu urejanju notranjega trga čezmejnih storitev ugodno vpliva na gospodarstvo EU. Enoodstotno zmanjšanje deleža čezmejnih storitev bi gospodarstvo EU stalo približno 8 milijard EUR.

The member states of the European Union must strengthen stakeholder involvement in their efforts to reform national economies.

The EESC draws mixed conclusions from the European Commission's growth survey
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.
