"This Friends of Europe background report, entitled ‘A European Social Union: 10 tough nuts to crack' is intended as a stimulus to widen the debate about the European Union's social policy options once a new European Commission and European Parliament are in place, and is a basis for discussion by the 30 or so senior experts who make up the Friends of Europe Social Europe High-Level Group. This High-Level Group of authoritative and representative voices is comprised of social partners, independent experts and high profile political actors.
It is intended that the High-Level Group should deliver a set of policy recommendations in its own report this autumn, in time to help define the EU social policy agenda for the coming five years and beyond."
