An interview with Peter Stub Jorgensen

Europe 2020: the Commission's blueprint for Europe's long-term strategy after 2010 is now open for debate, and ESF-Works has been talking to Peter Stub Jorgensen, Director in DG Employment, about what it means and the role seen for ESF. Intended for discussion and agreement by the European Council, Europe 2020 promotes a three-strand framework of:

Smart growth – involving innovation, education and development of the digital society
Sustainable growth – climate, energy and mobility, competitiveness
Inclusive growth – employment and skills, fighting poverty.

Making explicit reference to ESF’s role in achieving balance in supply and demand in the labour market and reducing social exclusion, Europe 2020 is essential reading for everyone with a stake in Europe's future strategy, policy and action.
