Expectations of the German Association regarding the German Federal Government for its presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2020
On 1 July 2020, the Federal Republic of Germany will assume the presidency of the Council of the European Union (EU). The German Association for Public and Private Welfare (Deutscher Verein für öffentliche und private Fürsorge e.V.) expects Germany to use its role to advocate for a social Europe in the Council and equally in the dialogue with the European Commission. To strengthen the European Union’s social dimension, from the German Association’s viewpoint, it is important to secure full implementation of the ‘European Pillar of Social Rights’ (EPSR), structural funding that takes into account the rights and principles of the EPSR, a new EU gender equality strategy with a broad approach and initiatives to extend EU anti-discrimination rules. Successful elements of the “Europe 2020” strategy, especially the social key objectives, need to be continued in a new EU strategy for economic policy management from 2021. The German Association calls for national, regional and local interests and the interests of civil society to be broadly incorporated in the European process of shaping policy, in order to further strengthen acceptance of the European project amongst the citizens of the EU in future.
