EU calls for comments on PROGRESS programme
The European Commission is inviting individuals, organisations and institutions that follow policy debate in the field of employment and social affairs, as well as those involved in national and EUi policy-making or implementation, to contribute to the performance monitoring of the PROGRESS Programme by participating in the Annual Survey 2011.
PROGRESS is an EU employment and social solidarity programme which works alongside the European Social Fund. It was established to financially support the implementation of EU objectives in the fields of employment and social affairs and consequently contributes to achieve the Europe 2020 strategic objectives.
The survey is structured around five distinct but interlinked PROGRESS policy sections:
- Employment (supports the implementation of the European Employment Strategy (EES));
- Social protection and social inclusion (supports the implementation of the open method of coordination (OMC) in the field of social protection and inclusion);
- Working conditions, including restructuration (supports the improvement of the working environment and working conditions, including health and safety at work and reconciling work and family life);
- Anti-discrimination and diversity (supports the effective implementation of the principle of non-discrimination and promotes its mainstreaming in all EU policies);
- Gender equality (supports the effective implementation of the principle of gender equality and promotes gender mainstreaming in all EU policies).
If you are hoping to respond to this consultation please let Network for Europe know by getting in touch with Angeliki Stogia at Network for Europe. Email: angeliki.stogia@networkforeurope.eu Responses need to be fed to the European Commission by 3 February 2012.
