It is quite remarkable that Dr. László Andor, former EU Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, former Head of the Scientific Council of ATTAC Hungary gave us a lecture on the political pillars of Social Europe.
Dr. István Horváth, Head of the Department of Labour and Social Law of Eötvös Loránd University, Secretary of the Hungarian Labour Law Society was talking about the virtues, objections and shortcomings of the Hungarian Labour Law , which entered into force 9 years ago.
The following speaker`s contribution, namely that of Mr. László Kordás, President of the Hungarian Trade Union Confederation about the general and national requirements for instruments to promote the overarching interests of the European workers` society well matched to the previous speaker.
Annajuli Rosenfeld and Péter Somogyi, Coordinators of the Hungarian Solidarity Action Group consisting of 29 CSOs presented us the operating conditions of European youth NGOs in creating cooperation between caring societies.
Dr. Zoltán Tóth, Ex-Secretary of State of the Ministry of Interior, former Chairman of the National Electoral Commission, election expert explained in details how to transform the election system of the EU politicl decisin-making bodies.
Finally, Dr. László Herczog, former Minister of Labour and Social Affairs set the tasks for establisment of European and national regulations and mechanisms to ensure and maintain the balance of the labour market and the social network.
