Goals / remit
| Goals / remit of the organisation: |
De nombreuses décisions ou orientations prises au niveau européen touchent directement la vie familiale. Leur incidence sur les parents et les enfants est telle que l’élaboration progressive d’une politique familiale européenne s’impose. Cette politique peut se définir comme étant la dimension familiale à donner aux politiques et initiatives économiques, sociales et culturelles développées au niveau européen; en un mot, il s’agit de «family mainstreaming».
Pour promouvoir une telle politique, la COFACE agit dans trois directions complémentaires:
* Porte-parole des organisations familiales, elle est l’interlocuteur des instances européennes dans tous les secteurs où les droits et intérêts des familles sont impliqués.
* Elle informe les organisations nationales des développements de l’Union européenne et encourage une prise de conscience européenne.
* Elle organise des échanges d’idées et d’expériences et une entraide entre les organisations familiales des divers pays.
Au fil des années, l’action de la COFACE a contribué au développement de la politique européenne dans les secteurs comme la défense des intérêts des consommateurs, la protection sociale, la lutte contre l’exclusion sociale, la non-discrimination et l’égalité des chances, la démographie, les programmes d’aide aux personnes handicapées et leurs familles, la promotion de la santé, de l’éducation, de la société civile,… Ainsi la dimension familiale prend progressivement place dans le champ d’action européen.
La COFACE veut intensifier sa collaboration avec les institutions européennes et leur demande:
* D’être consultée dans tous les secteurs où la dimension familiale des politiques est concernée.
* D’organiser chaque année une réunion du Conseil des ministres ayant la politique familiale dans leurs attributions.
* De prévoir un fondement juridique incontestable de soutien à la vie familiale dans le Traité de l’Union.
