ЕВРОПЕЙСКАЯ ОПОРА СОЦИАЛЬНЫХ ПРАВ
Highlights
1.1 Following the request from the President of the European Commission to the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) for an EESC contribution to the consultation on a European Pillar of Social Rights ("EPSR")[1], the Committee engaged in broad civil society[2] consultations in the 28 Member States
These set out an agenda for global transformational change to end poverty, protect the planet, ensure protection of human rights including the human rights of persons with disabilities as enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), which EU and Member States are obliged to implement, and guarantee prosperity for all[10]
4.9 The EESC is of the opinion that stronger and more transparent dialogue is needed between relevant actors to make and transform social protection systems more sustainable in terms of prioritising resources into effective, efficient and relevant public investment, in the full respect of and with the aim of promoting social rights and, in particular, the fundamental principles of social security systems of the member states
Summary
1.1 Following the request from the President of the European Commission to the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) for an EESC contribution to the consultation on a European Pillar of Social Rights ("EPSR")[1], the Committee engaged in broad civil society[2] consultations in the 28 Member States. The Committee notes the Commission's intention to "...express a number of essential principles to support wellfunctioning and fair labour markets and welfare systems"[3] and considers the EPSR to be a very important initiative for the sustainability of the EU. Within this context, this EESC Opinion constitutes a first step in the ongoing process towards the establishment of an EPSR. The Committee states its intention to continue contributing to discussions on this topic, notably subsequent to the adoption of the Commission's White Paper in 2017
