Letter to the European Council on integrating a social pact in the European economic governance
Integrate a social pact in the European economic governance to counteract the social consequences of fiscal consolidation and austerity measures.
We, an alliance of European social NGOs, reiterate our great concern on the overall economic orientation of the EU and its resulting social consequences. After two years of austerity measures, our members feel that the EU is not taking the right path to fulfil its objective “The Union's aim is to promote peace, its values and the well-being of its peoples” as set out in the Treaty on the European Union (article 3).
