The Social Platform in its letter to President Juncker, sent in the context of the forthcoming second orientation debate on social policy reiterates its call for:  “Adequate minimum income schemes of at least 60% of national median income to protect people against poverty across the life-cycle, linked to reference budgets that capture real needs in relation to access to goods and services. Member States should be supported in the progressive realisation of such schemes, including through an EU framework directive”.
