The Commission is organising a major conference on employment policy, under the title "Jobs for Europe", on 6-7 September 2012.
The conference will build on the Employment Package put forward by the Commission on 18 April and on the outcomes of the 2012 European Semester, but also on a series of conferences which the Commission organised during 2011 in order to explore new dimensions of employment policy, notably regarding the functioning of European labour markets, wage developments, flexicurity in a crisis context, and inequalities.
The conference will be addressed, among others, by European Commission President, José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz, President of the European Council, Herman van Rompuy and future Director-General of the International Labour Organisation, Guy Ryder. Keynote speeches will be given by 2010 Nobel Prize laureate Christopher Pissarides, OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría, and Italy's Minister of Labour, Social Policies and Equal Opportunities, Elsa Fornero.
The "Jobs for Europe" conference on 6 and 7 September is the Commission's key employment event of the year. The objective is to build further momentum for strong employment policies as tools for ensuring recovery in Europe.
The Europe 2020 Strategy, with its focus on smart, sustainable and inclusive growth and a target of 75% employment by 2020, remains the key roadmap for Europe to emerge from the crisis. But the employment situation in 2012 is worse than it was in 2010, and we need to strengthen efforts to turn this around. The June European Council conclusions make clear that employment policy is an important part of the growth agenda at both European and national levels, as jobs deliver growth.
The Employment Package underlines that boosting demand for labour, investing in skills and increasing mobility are crucial to bringing down unemployment in a sustainable manner. It makes clear that employment policies not only support job creation but also drive economic sustainable growth people with jobs boost production and demand for goods and services at the same time.
The conference will last for two days on 6-7 September at the Charlemagne building in Brussels. Two press conferences will be organised:
Thursday 6th September: 13:00 - 13:30 with Commissioner Andor, OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría, Italy's Minister of Labour, Social Policies and Equal Opportunities, Elsa Fornero and 2010 Nobel Prize laureate Christopher Pissarides
Friday 7th September: 13:00 - 13:30 Commissioner Andor, Professor Charalambous and the future Director-General of the International Labour Organisation, Guy Ryder
Webstreaming will be accessible via the event webpage.
