Report on the application of Decision 573/2014/EU on enhanced cooperation between Public Employment Services (PES)

Public Employment Services (PES) are at the forefront of responding to the challenge of unemployment and exclusion across Europe. Pursuant to Decision No 573/2014/EU, the European Parliament and the Council set up the European Network of Public Employment Services in May 2014 as a platform for closer cooperation between these organisations.

This report is a review of the Decision’s application. In accordance with Article 10 of the Decision, the report will assess to what extent the Network has helped to achieve the objectives of the Decision and whether it has fulfilled its tasks so far. It will also examine how the Network has developed and implemented Benchlearning – the process of connecting performance comparisons with mutual learning.
