Luxembourg, 20 June 2018 – The reform of the EMU: which social dimension?
The Jacques Delors Institute organizes, in collaboration with the Ministry of Labor, Employment and the Social and Solidarity Economy of Luxembourg and the services of the Deputy Prime Minister and the Ministry of Employment, Economy and Consumers, responsible for foreign trade, a high-level conference on the social dimension of the Economic and Monetary Union and possible avenues for reform to strengthen the European social pillar.
PARTNERSHIP
PARTENAIRES
The reform of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) will be at the heart of the European agenda in the coming months. This reflection on the deepening of EMU should not be limited to economic, budgetary or financial stakes. EMU also has a social dimension that needs to be clarified. What social convergence is necessary for the proper functioning of EMU? What are the instruments to put in place or strengthen to achieve this social convergence? How to improve the social governance of EMU? It is during a high-level seminar that the Luxembourg government, in partnership with the Jacques Delors Institute, seeks to answer these questions in order to contribute to the debate on the deepening of EMU.
