Building on the Roadmap for equality between women and men 2006-2010, as well as the European Pact for Gender Equality, this Strategy spells out actions under five priority areas defined in the Women’s Charter, and one area addressing cross-cutting issues. For each priority area, key actions to stimulate change and achieve progress are described and more detailed proposals are to be found in the accompanying staff working paper. The actions proposed follow the dual approach of gender mainstreaming (meaning the integration of the gender dimension in all policy areas) and specific measures. The Strategy represents the work programme of the European Commission on gender equality, aiming additionally to stimulate developments at national level and to provide the basis for cooperation with the other European institutions and with stakeholders.

Javno naročanje pomeni približno 17 % bruto domačega proizvoda EU. Zaradi tega ima precejšen vpliv na področja, kot je socialna politika. Evropska komisija namerava z Vodnikom za upoštevanje družbenih razmislekov pri javnem naročanju izkoristiti to dejstvo z (a) ozaveščanjem naročnikov o prednostih odločanja za blago in storitve, ki prinašajo dobre družbene rezultate, in (b) pojasnjevanjem priložnosti za upoštevanje družbenih razmislekov pri javnem naročanju, ki jih ponuja sedanji pravni okvir EU. V vodniku je najprej opredeljeno družbeno odgovorno javno naročanje, nato so pojasnjene njegove prednosti. Družbeno odgovorno javno naročanje je obravnavano v zvezi s socialnim modelom EU ter pravnim in političnim pristopom k temu vprašanju v Uniji. V vodniku je tudi razdelana strategija družbeno odgovornega javnega naročanja in razloženo je, kako opredeliti potrebe in načrtovati postopke javnega naročanja. Iz družbene perspektive je pojasnjeno, kako je mogoče obravnavati družbene razmisleke na različnih stopnjah postopka javnega naročanja (od opredeljevanja tehničnih podrobnosti in izbirnih meril do oddaje javnih naročil in spremljanja poznejšega izvajanja). Navedeni so nacionalni primeri za ponazoritev različnih korakov v procesu. Publikacija je v tiskani obliki na voljo v vseh uradnih jezikih Evropske unije.

Roma in Europe continue to suffer discrimination and exclusion, putting them at a high risk of poverty and unemployment. EU institutions and Member States have a joint responsibility to improve this, using all instruments at their disposal. Prepared by the European Roma Rights Centre and the Roma Education Fund, the Report on Improving the tools for the social inclusion and non-discrimination of Roma in the EU examines practices and actions in EU Member States which have contributed to Roma inclusion. An online summary (ISBN 978-92-79-17647-0) of the Report is also available. The Report describes the general political context before setting out conditions which favour the effective implementation of such practices. Funding options for Roma-related projects are analysed, drawing on examples from Member States, with a view to identifying key success factors. The Report then looks at project models which are demonstrably successful and transferable and concludes by outlining the lessons learned from this analysis.
