Promoting and reinforcing European Social Dialogue

"The European Social Dialogue exists for around thirty years. It has evolved with the different stages of European integration. Today, with the recent quadri-partite statement of the EU Commission, Council and social partners, there is a chance for social dialogue to play a stronger role in policy-making at EU and national levels.  What is essential from an enterprise perspective is that Social Dialogue positively contributes in terms of competitiveness. We would like to discuss this key challenge more with the trade unions at all levels to make progress together on that front, thereby creating the conditions for job creation and good working conditions across Europe." said Markus J. Beyrer at the conference organised by the European social partners on “Promoting and reinforcing the European Social Dialogue” on 5 and 6 July in Brussels.
