2. Promote equal opportunities for women and men at work and in family life

3. Experience shapes the future: Recognise opportunities – use knowledge and experience – develop new markets

4. Strive for equal opportunities and social participation for all children and young people

Doesn't most of Europe already have these opportunities in place just like the US? You just have to get up off the couch and go make it happen. Nothing is given to you in this world.

Absolutely. The principles as described are fine, but they don't come alone - with them you get a whole bunch of state control and more recently, the erosion of civil rights. Not to mention the obscene level of taxation. It's all The Nanny State Knows Best, and we all know if you treat people like children, they act like children, tantrums and all.
