EU leaders and social partners met in Brussels on 18 March for the Tripartite Social Summit, a twice-yearly forum for dialogue that brings together the leaders of the EU institutions and the European social partners. The discussions focused on ‘Investment for a vibrant European economy and quality jobs', and in particular on how to close the investment gaps and reduce strategic dependencies.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen (pictured) said: “Our social market economy is what protects Europe's social fabric in these volatile times. And we must strengthen it even further. As the war in the Gulf drives energy prices up again, our immediate focus has to be on protecting our most vulnerable consumers and businesses. With short-term relief for those who urgently need it. And by strengthening our independence thanks to the phase-out of unstable fossil fuel imports. As we design solutions, it is vital to engage closely with the social partners and I'm thankful for our cooperation.”

More details are available in the press release.
