+ European Commission Consultation on 'The Social Reality of Europe'

Today the Commission has initiated a public consultation to take stock of present social realities and trends in European societies. The aim is to reach out to different constituencies to discuss what forms Europe's social reality. This unprecedented exercise will be based on a consultation paper, a Eurobarometer poll and a special website. The Commission is in listening mode, not testing policy. Insofar as appropriate, results of this exercise may be fed into forthcoming policy initiatives, e.g. the review of the Commission's Social Agenda later this year. As part of the official consultation, the Commission has published a paper by Roger Liddle, Principal Advisor at the Bureau of European Policy Advisors (BEPA) and Frederic Lerais titled 'Europe's Social Reality'. They are both in PDF format.
