European network of public employment services

Public employment services are the main agencies executing employment policies that facilitate labour market integration of jobseekers. The European Commission proposed to extend and improve the European network of such services, through, inter alia, cooperation with other labour market stakeholders and adaptation to the challenges related to digitalisation, technological developments in the world of work and to demographic changes. The European Parliament is due to vote at first reading during the November I plenary session on the text agreed in trilogue with the Council.
