On 22 March, members of the EMPL Committee voted on the provisional agreement resulting from interinstitutional negotiations between the European Parliament and the Council. During the second triloge meeting held on 7 March, some key elements were agreed upon, such as the starting day of the European Year of Skills from May 9, 2023 to May 8, 2024.
Key elements discussed were the need for strengthening social dialogue in the design of national, sectoral and company-specific skills strategies and training, as well as promoting re-skilling and upskilling as the general objective of this initiative. In addition, the need of empowering people to access quality jobs as well as the importance of integrating people with fewer opportunities into the labour market were underlined.
