Following the latest round of negotiations between the EU27 and the United Kingdom on the withdrawal from the European Union, S&D Group president Gianni Pittella and Group negotiator Roberto Gualtieri said:

PES has been the driving force in shaping the European social pillar and supporting workers in the digital economy -- a fact that will be made clear once again at today’s informal EU leaders’ summit in Tallinn.

PES president Sergei Stanishev and two chairs of PES networks wrote yesterday to all PES heads of state and government, Commissioners and deputy prime ministers, summarising PES action to date on the social pillar and emphasising the importance of concrete progress in Tallinn.
