This training session has been commissioned under the European Union's Programme for Employment and Social Solidarity (PROGRESS 2007-2013).
This programme is managed by the Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities and by the Directorate-General for Justice of the European Commission. It was established to provide financial support for the implementation of the objectives of the European Union in the employment and social affairs area, as set out in the Social Agenda, and thereby contribute to the achievement of the Lisbon Strategy goals in these fields.
The seven-year Programme targets all stakeholders who can help shape the development of appropriate and effective employment and social legislation and policies, across the EU-27, EFTA-EEA and EU candidate and pre-candidate countries.
PROGRESS’ mission is to strengthen the EU contribution in support of Member States' commitment. PROGRESS is instrumental in:
- providing analysis and policy advice on PROGRESS policy areas
- monitoring and reporting on the implementation of EU legislation and policies in PROGRESS policy areas
- promoting policy transfer, learning and support among Member States on EU objectives and priorities; and
- relaying the views of the stakeholders and society at large.
