in EU policy-making
|
| |
|
The ESN's European Semester Reference Group held its third annual meeting in Brussels, on 9 September. Representatives from 20 countries and 10 European Commission officials discussed key recent developments and challenges at EU level and in their respective countries. Issues ranged from the impact of administrative reforms on social services, to the use and necessary sustainability of EU funding. A much debated subject was the ways to influence the European Semester process from the local level.
