In the committees on economic policy, employment and the labour market and social protection important work is done, which is then discussed and approved by the Council, with no input from Parliament: drafting of common reports by the Council and Commission on employment, exclusion and pensions, as well as on objectives and indicators in the fight against poverty, a subject which also involves pensions.
Le comité de politique économique, responsable pour les questions d'emploi, de marché du travail et de protection sociale effectue un travail important que le Conseil discute et approuve sans intervention du Parlement (rapports communs du Conseil et de la Commission sur l'emploi, l'exclusion, les retraites ou sur les objectifs et indicateurs de la lutte contre la pauvreté).
