Annual priorities for the EU agenda
People first - A new direction for Europe
The Party of European Socialists is committed to creating a fairer, safer society which puts people first. Our objective is for the European Union to focus on citizens’ real concerns and ensure that Europe’s people benefit from European policies and actions. For 2009 the PES has six priorities, promoted on the PES manifesto 
:
1. Relaunching the economy and preventing new financial crises
2. Giving people a fairer deal
3. Transforming Europe into the leading global force against climate change
4. Championing equality between women and men
5. Developing an effective migration policy for Europe
6. Enhancing Europe’s role as a partner for peace, security and development
Together, these proposals add up to a comprehensive progressive reform agenda to deliver the change which the people of Europe desperately need.
