The EPSCO Council meets around four times a year. Two of the meetings are usually devoted exclusively to employment and social policy topics. The EU's objective in the field of Employment and Social Policy is to contribute to a high level of employment and development of human resources, promoting working conditions and combating exclusion. As far as Health and Consumer Affairs are concerned, the EU aims at achieving a high level of human health and consumer protection.
