The European Commission held a major conference, Brussels, 5-6 May 2008 to discuss how Europe should respond to its current social challenges in an era of globalisation and create discussion on how Europe should renew its social agenda. The event aimed to: Provide a platform for a social policy dialogue that is responsive to new challenges in European societies. Open a discussion aimed at public engagement and consensus building in the context of new social realities and ensuring the best way forward. Produce input that will ultimately feed into the preparation and definition of the renewed Social Agenda in June 2008. The European Commission also presented a new Social Situation Report 'Social Cohesion through Equal Opportunities' which presents some key findings from the EU's new tool for monitoring the social situation and, in the future, social trends, namely the EU-SILC (Statistics on Income and Living Conditions). |
