Welcome to a Citizens' Dialogue on how Europe can contribute to fair jobs and growth, the 16 November in Göteborg!
Will my skills be sufficient in order to keep my job in the future? How can I be a part of society in my new home country and get a fair job? Does the EU take its social responsibility in other parts of the world? How do we improve the EU together?
Welcome to participate in our citizens' dialogue to give your input on how the EU and its Member Stats can better address social issues in view of the Social Summit the next day! Also take the opportunity to give your view on how you want the EU to address future challenges and possibilities!
Meet Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmström, Employment Commissioner Marianne Thyssen and the Swedish Employment Minister Ylva Johansson on 16 November at the University of Gothenburg - School of Business, Economics and Law. During 90 minutes, the Commissioners and the Minister will give their views and reply to your questions.
This Citizens' Dialogue takes place the day before the Social Summit for fair jobs and growth in Göteborg hosted by the European Commission's President Jean-Claude Juncker and Sweden's Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, where issues such as how individuals can get in to the labour market, secure good conditions on the labour market and successfully transition on the labour market will be discussed.

The European Commission is the executive body of the EU and runs its day-to-day business. It is made up of the College of Commissioners, 27 European Commissioners, one for each member state, who are each responsible for one or several policy areas. In addition, the 'Commission' also refers to the entire administrative body that supports the Commissioners, consisting of the Directorates-General and the Services.
The European Commission is the sole EU body capable of proposing new legislation. The Commission also performs an oversight function, monitoring whether European legislation is properly implemented in the member states. In the event of non-compliance, the Commission can coerce a member state to comply by starting a legal procedure at the European Court of Justice.
