A Single Market for a Social Europe

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

EN: There is no denying that significant economic integration has taken place in Europe over the last half century. Borders have been opened and, in many respects, a European single market is already a reality. The free movement of people, however, is lagging behind, and this is one of the areas where a more in-depth debate on the social dimension of the European Union is desirable. We would also do well to look at how the European Union as such can work as a vehicle for strengthening social values, not least in a situation where many European countries face high unemployment, austerity measures and social exclusion in the wake of the financial crisis. How can the European Union achieve a stronger social dimension that has a tangible impact on European citizens' daily lives and their attitude towards European integration? These are some of the questions we want to look at during this seminar, with a specific emphasis on the Swedish line of approach.

SV: Den ekonomiska integrationen i Europa har varit mycket omfattande under de senaste 50 åren. Gränser har öppnats och en europeisk inre marknad är redan i många avseenden en verklighet. Rörligheten för människor släpar emellertid efter, vilket visar att det behövs en mer djupgående diskussion om Europeiska unionens sociala dimension. Kan EU bidra till at stärka de sociala värderingarna i en situation där många europeiska länder i efterdyningarna av den finansiella krisen har drabbats av hög arbetslöshet, åtstramningsåtgärder och social utestängning? Bör EU få en starkare social profil som på ett mer konkret sätt påverkar EU-medborgarnas dagliga liv och härigenom även deras inställning till det europeiska projektet? Dessa är några av de frågor som vi kommer att diskutera under seminariet, där det fokuseras på den svenska synvinkeln.

Venue

Europahuset, Regeringsgatan 65, Stockholm

Moderation

The seminar will be moderated by Jan Olsson, Co-president of the European Network of Cities and Regions for the Social Economy (REVES), Vice-President of The European Confederation of Workers’ Cooperatives, Social Cooperatives and Social and Participative Enterprises (CECOP).

The EESC President’s statement on the EU budget review: deciding on the EU future budget means putting solidarity into practice

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

"The EU budget must be intelligent, proactive and respond to the requirements of Europe today. Taxpayers' money should be spent on clear priorities and visible projects that contain an added value at EU level and respond to EU citizens' needs and expectations. The Commission's proposal for a multi-annual budget for 2014-2020 is right in putting the emphasis on investment and growth.…"
