In this part Europe is still weak, and new documents are being prepared, which will reflect what constitutes the social rights of the population.

It is necessary to take a fresh look at the basic principles of the economy. It is very important, the expert believes, to choose what to be guided as a new development strategy for 2030 with. All governments approve the "great adjustment" approach in order to understand the development of new processes in the global economy.

Some other countries have also moved in this direction.
