On 2 and 3 July, the Commission is putting forward a comprehensive and ambitious package of initiatives. It represents a new commitment to social Europe and consists of an integrated approach bringing together various policies.
It shows how the EU can help to create opportunities, provide access and demonstrate solidarity by taking initiatives to foster employment creation, education and skills development, fight discrimination, support mobility and enable Europeans to live longer, healthier lives.
The renewed social agenda seeks to empower and equip Europeans, in particular also young people, to deal with rapidly changing realities - shaped by globalisation, technological progress, ageing societies and developments such as the recent hikes in food and oil prices and turmoil in financial markets.
It also aims to help those who have difficulties coping with these changes
