Informal EMPLOYMENT and CONSUMER meeting 31 Jan - 2 Feb

02 February 2008



 

No issues on Financial Services discussed

 

Seeking balance between security and flexibility is a lengthy process which requires active involvement of all partners. On European level, important steps were made in the past years, which will be of support and help to the countries in forming their national regulations. Invaluable is the contribution of previous Presidencies, including the adoption of common principles of flexicurity.


Slovenian Presidency wishes to ensure continuation of the process and therefore encourage deepening of discussion about flexicurity, especially in relation to implementation of common principles of flexicurity and coordination of social policies and employment policies. In so doing, the Presidency will dedicate special attention to youth and older workers, and to the challenges which are faced by women on the labour market.
