EU Social Dialogue
This section provides information and practical assistance aimed at social partner representatives (and especially trade union organisations) as well as practitioners in industrial relations on policy and legislative developments on European social dialogue.
Thematic Projects
Since 2004 the ETUC has undertaken so-called "Integrated Projects" together with BusinessEurope, CEEP and SMEunited, co-financed by the European Commisson. Activities in these projects are aimed at strengthening the link between social dialogue at national and European level, as well as specific objectives identified in the work programmes of the European social partners.
