On 9 September 2015, in his State of the Union, President Juncker announced the establishment of a European Pillar of Social Rights.
On 8 March 2016, the Commission presented a first preliminary outline of the European Pillar of Social Rights and started a public consultation to collect feedback from other European institutions, national authorities, social partners, stakeholders, civil society, experts from academia and citizens.
This initiative is part of the work undertaken by the Commission for a deeper and fairer Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). As indicated by President Juncker, the initiative is targeted at the euro area, while allowing other Member States to join in if they want to do so.
The purpose of the European Pillar of Social Rights is to establish a number of essential principles to support fair labour market.
The results of the consultation will contribute to its final outline and help to identify the scope of future action where necessary. The consultation will run until 31 December 2016 and a consolidated version of the European Pillar of Social Rights should be presented early in 2017.
