Year at a glance – PROGRESS in 2011

The European Union programme for employment and social solidarity — Progress (2007–13) is a key instrument to support the modern, effective and innovative EU employment, social and equality policies.

The programme helps the Commission to fulfil its tasks both in the fields of: (a) law-making, to ensure that evidence-based legislation meets all the principles of smart regulation; and (b) policy coordination among the Member States, where the Commission serves a critical role of the facilitator and the broker. Progress focuses on transnational aspects of the EU employment, social and equality policies, the promotion of which requires a concerted action across all Member States, and actively supports collective and mutually reinforcing actions of Member States which consolidate EU cooperation and bring mutual learning and social innovations
