Memo: Frequently asked questions: the European Pillar of Social Rights

On 13 January 2016 the European Commission released a set of answers to frequently asked questions on the European Pillar of Social Rights.

The European Pillar of Social Rights was announced in President Juncker's State of the Union address in September 2015 and was foreseen in the Commission Work Programme for 2016.

On 6 October 2015, the College of Commissioners held an orientation debate on the economic and social dimension of the Single Market, discussing also for the first time the concept of the Pillar of Social Rights. A further orientation debate is foreseen later in January.
