In his report presented on April 15 to Christine Lagarde and Xavier Bertrand, French ministers in charge of Employment and Social Affairs, Laurent Cohen-Tanugi, the lawyer in charge of developing a reflection on these important themes, gave the outlines of a new European strategy for globalization entitled EuroWorld 2015. He also invites the French presidency of the EU, which will start on July 1, to work for a strengthening of Europe's social dimension, notably by improving controls on transnational postings of workers.
