The European Commission adopted on the 2 October 2013 a Communication on the social dimension of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). The Communication was a further contribution from the Commission to the debate on deeper integration within the EMU, and suggested ways to reinforce existing rules on economic governance to better anticipate and address employment and social policy challenges. The Communication focused on three areas: • reinforced surveillance of employment and social challenges and strengthened policy coordination; • enhanced solidarity and reinforced action for employment and labour mobility; • stronger social dialogue In an initial response the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) welcomed the introduction of key social indicators in the European Semester but deplored the powerlessness of these indicators to change economic governance rules. |
