Paris, 28/05/2009
The Paris Declaration’s aim is twofold: fight the crisis and push forward a more equitable society. The declaration is built on five key points, namely:
• more and better jobs: invest in an expanded European recovery plan;
• stronger welfare systems to provide more security and equality and avoid social exclusion;
• stronger workers’ rights and an end to the dominance of the short-termist market principles;
• better pay: stronger collective bargaining;
• European solidarity as a protection against the excesses of financial capitalism.
