A Social Euro and Economic Dialogue: Conflicting aims

Summary:

The portfolio Euro and Social dialogue under the responsibility of Dombrovskis includes many objectives and aims; combining fiscal issues with social dialogue has the potential to create disagreement and divergence. The official justification for the controversial combination of portfolios is that it will bring about greater policy coherence and communication within the college. According to Juncker’s strategy, this will allow for much stronger cooperation across areas of responsibility, with several Commissioners working closely together with the Vice-Presidents.
