The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) organises a major conference on March 18 and 19 to reflect on Europe 2020 and to come up with elements for a road map of concrete recovery action, in the wake of the most serious economic and social crisis.
Press Point: President Mario Sepi, Maria João RODRIGUES, Javier VALLÉS LIBERAL (tbc)
Venue and Timing: Friday 19 March at 09.30, JDE building, Room 62, 6th floor
Titled "An EU Road Map for Sustainable Economic and Social Recovery", the conference is to draw up a detailed set of propositions to boost Europe's economy. The EESC earlier considered the European Commission's initiative Europe 2020 "lacking ambition" in failing to propose better economic and fiscal policy coordination and employment security.
Among others, speakers will include Olli REHN, Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs, Algirdas ŠEMETA, Commissioner for Taxation and Customs Union, Audit and Anti-Fraud, Pervenche BERES, Chairwoman of the Employment Committee, Wolf KLINZ, Chairman of the Committee Financial, Economic and Social Crisis, European Parliament, Javier VALLÉS LIBERAL (tbc), Spanish national Lisbon Strategy Coordinator, EU Presidency, Maria João RODRIGUES, Special advisor on the Lisbon Agenda and Sony KAPOOR, Managing Director, Re-Define.
