We cannot afford to endanger the European Social Fund!

Today, we voted to protect strong social investment for people and communities.

The ESF is the only EU programme primarily dedicated to driving social cohesion, quality employment and skills, youth investment, and poverty alleviation. We must protect its independence.

We will not see it phased out or abolished under the guise of "competitiveness", or at the whim of short-sighted economic interests.

“We want Europe and Canada to be as close as possible. What matters is not the name we give to our partnership, but what we can achieve together.”

@J_MorenoSanchez, Chair of the European Parliament Delegation for relations with Canada.

44th EU-Canada Interparliamentary Meeting just adopted this joint declaration, read here:

Today’s vote in the employment and social affairs committee proves that political groups in the 🇪🇺Parliament refuse to see the ESF phased out or abolished under the guise of competitiveness or because of economic interests.
