AB The globalisation and the economic crisis have transformed the social structures in western societies. There has been an important increase of social exclusion, especially in the countries of the south of the European Union. In this regard, even if the word social is enshrined in the European Treaties, in the practice, the social pillar has not yet been fully achieved at the EU level. The Single European Act, the Community Charter of the Fundamental Social Rights for Workers, several communications and some directives attempted to develop the social pillar which remained incomplete. The economic crisis has raised this issue on the agenda, especially after the declarations of President Juncker concerning the European Pillar of Social Rights in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 and the signature of this Pillar in Gothenburg, Sweden last November 2017. Now the EU has a very good opportunity to boost the social pillar after the new European elections in this new legislative term. New president of European Commission Ursula Von der Leyen has also showed a big compromise on Europe’s social pillar, and, on her agenda for Europe, she has proposed ambitious actions over the first 100 days of her mandate in this area. Now the EU has a very good opportunity to boost the social pillar in this legislative term.
