With this letter, EAPN wanted also to ensure the strategy delivers on the stated goal of “social and territorial cohesion, such that the benefits of growth and jobs are widely shared and people experiencing poverty and social exclusion are enabled to live in dignity and take an active part in society”.
In EAPN’s views, the Guidelines must ensure that the Social OMC is given a strong, explicit place in the delivery of the Europe-2020 strategy as well as maintaining its own autonomous process.
