Fifth stakeholder dialogue on the EU Platform against Poverty and Social Exclusion

As part of its 5th stakeholder dialogue on the EU Platform against Poverty and Social Exclusion, the European Commission presented updates on its planned Social Investment Package, the 2012 Poverty Convention, and reports on Active Inclusion and Adequate Pensions. Consideration of health and inequality issues seems to be gaining greater importance on the Commission’s agenda, with the main theme of the 2012 Poverty Convention reserved for "Inequalities".
