The campaign calls on each member state to conform to the 2008 EU Commission Recommendation on Active Inclusion that recognises the “individual’s right to resources and social assistance to lead a life that is compatible with human dignity”. At a national level, EAPN Ireland is also asking people to sign up to voice their dissent at the increasing attacks on social welfare rates in Ireland.
