EU leaders and social partners agreed on the 23 October 2014 on the urgent need to stimulate investment and create more jobs in order to meet the objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy, the EU's long-term growth and jobs plan. During the twice-yearly Tripartite Social Summit ahead of the European Council on the 23 October 2014, workers' and employers' organisations (the social partners) joined the President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso and the President of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, in agreeing on the need to pursue reforms to support a long-term recovery. They also discussed the EU's economic governance in general. The Tripartite Social Summit discussed the Commission's recent stock-take of the Europe 2020 strategy and the mid-term review of the European Semester. The talks also focused on promoting a job-rich recovery, namely on ways to foster youth employment, and the social partners’ key role in this, as well as their importance in designing and implementing reforms at European and national level. László Andor, EU Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, and Giuliano Poletti, Italian Minister of Labour and Social Security, also contributed to the debate. |
