EAPN expressed its thanks to Van Rompuy for the strong support to strengthening the social pillar in Europe 2020, and urged him to use his position to back the agreed target, and ensure a strong action plan on poverty, using a reinforced Social OMC, but investing in stronger EU social instruments. He was asked to ensure that a better structured dialogue was embedded with civil society organisations and people in poverty on the Europe 2020 strategy, but also in all policy fields and with all key EU institutions.
