Today, the S&D Group, together with the Italian think tank, CeSPI, has launched its report "Shaping a Progressive Agenda of EU’s Development Cooperation: A Critical Examination of NDICI-Global Europe Implementing Acts". The report examines the implementation of the biggest external EU financial instrument, NDICI-Global Europe*, and assesses how its objectives and priorities are benefitting the partner countries. 

The HR services industry pursued an upbeat trend in 2022, growing global turnover by 8.3% for a total of €632 billion (USD666 billion) in sales revenues. Positive results recorded as per the number of people supported, the opening of agencies and hiring of internal staff demonstrate the attractiveness of the sector and its key role in navigating the complexities of labour markets. As the skills mismatch worsens, the industry, however, faces a standstill.

The home appliance industry in Europe continues its journey toward greater sustainability and innovation. 

The report examines the latest production, sustainability and market trends from the home appliance sector and provides an overview of the policy developments around the industry in 2022-2023. 

Key findings: 

On 6 April, S&D Group President Iratxe García Pérez will join the Socialists’ Common Candidate, Nicolas Schmit, Chancellor of Germany Olaf Scholz, Prime Minister of Romania Marcel Ciolacu and PES President Stefan Löfven in the conference “We stand together – for our Europe” in Bucharest, Romania.
