Improvements in the workings of EU labour markets have created more jobs across Europe, concludes a five-year evaluation of the European Employment Strategy (EES) adopted in summary form in a Commission Communication on 17 July 2002. The EES was launched at the Luxembourg Jobs Summit nearly five years ago, with the aim of combatting unemployment. The evaluation looks at the performance of the labour market over the last five years and also gives some pointers to the future shape of the EES. The evaluation will provide input to the political debate on the future of the Strategy, which will lead to a proposal from the Commission for a new generation of Employment Guidelines. The evaluation has been made jointly by Member States and the Commission, using national evaluation studies as a main input. |
