WHAT IS THE EU SOCIAL DIALOGUE?

A tool to ensure the smooth functioning of labour markets – recognised by Articles 154 and 155 of the EU Treaty.
It refers to the joint cooperation and actions undertaken by the European Social Partners representing the two sides of industry (management and labour). Since 1985, this process has resulted in the adoption of over 60 initiatives by the Social Partners.

European Social Partners (BUSINESSEUROPE, UEAPME, CEEP, ETUC) have recently agreed on European inter-professional joint multi-annual work programmes:

WORK PROGRAMME 2003-2005 WORK PROGRAMME 2006-2008 WORK PROGRAMME 2009-2010
