"We achieved the development of those implements and policies that help us respond to the anxieties and needs, expectations of the European citizens. To the needs for dignified living, for qualitative jobs for all, for opportunities of advancement during life for all of us", he added.

Employment and social policy issues dominated the last EU Council of Social Affairs Ministers during the Greek Presidency that convened in Luxembourg under Vroutsis' chairmanship.

The ministers approved recommendations for each country concerning employment and social cohesion, signalling the successful conclusion of the European Six-Month period in 2014.
