"Européanisation"
The European Social Observatory has launched research on "Ensuring an Adequate Pension in a European Context". The aim of the research is twofold: inform decisionmakers about the social consequences of recent reforms in the pension systems of 'old', 'new' and future EU Members States; and shed light on the impact of EU initiatives (OMC, legislation) in the field of pensions on domestic systems.
L'Observatoire Social européen a lancé une nouvelle recherche intitulée « Assurer une pension adéquate dans un contexte européen ». Le but de la recherche est double : informer les décideurs des conséquences sociales des réformes des systèmes de retraite dans les «anciens», «nouveaux» et «futurs» États de Membres de l'Union européenne, d’une part, et mettre en évidence l'impact des initiatives de l'Union européenne (MOC, législation) sur les systèmes nationaux dans le domaine des pensions.
The European tools for social policy in Belgium (ETOS.be) research project, funded by the Belgian Federal Science Policy Office, brings together six Belgian, French and Dutch research teams, made up of political scientists, lawyers
