Give social rights teeth to improve people s lives, demand S&Ds ahead of Commission Action Plan

Published: Share: Ahead of this week’s presentation of the European Commission’s Action Plan on how to implement the 2017 European Pillar of Social Rights, the Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament issued a strong call for making social rights a reality for all Europeans by introducing binding targets. Iratxe García, S&D Group leader, said: “9 out of 10 Europeans consider social Europe a priority. At the Porto Summit, it will be up to EU leaders to deliver on people’s hopes for our shared future. Getting young people into quality jobs, ensuring men and women are paid the same and guaranteeing affordable housing - all these rights are already laid down in the European Pillar of Social Rights. Yet, governments are too often only paying lip service to these principles. This must change. It is time to deliver.
