Since the launch of the European Employment Strategy two years ago the EAPN Task Force on Employment has been critically monitoring its progress. The seminar held on 9-10 September 1999, the day after the Commission’s publication of the draft Year 2000 guidelines, formed an important part of this on-going process.
Not only did it provide EAPN members with the opportunity to further analyse the impact of the 1998/99 guidelines it also presented them with the ideal opportunity to make recommendations on how to improve the guidelines for 2000.
