Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee on the proposal for a Council decision on guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States

(COM(2016) 71 final — 2016/43 (NLE))

(2016/C 264/18)

On 24 February 2016 the Council decided to consult the European Economic and Social Committee, under Article 148(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, on the:

Proposal for a Council decision on guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States

(COM(2016) 71 final — 2016/43 (NLE))

Since the Committee has already set out its views on the content of the proposal in question in its earlier opinion on employment guidelines (EESC-2015-01167-00-02-AC-TRA) adopted on 27 May 2015 (*), it decided, at its 516th plenary session of 27 and 28 April 2016 (meeting of 27 April 2016), by 220 votes to 1 with 7 abstentions, not to draw up a new opinion on the subject, but to refer to the position it had taken in the abovementioned documents.

Brussels, 27 April 2016.
