The representation of the labour world in national and European institutions: the role of the national and European economic and social committees

The study aims to analyse the present situation of the national ESCs (Economic and Social Councils/Committees) and of other structures for dialogue in Greece, Italy, Spain, France and Romania, and of the EESC including the following aspects:

  • How budget cuts are affecting their role in the representation of the labour world?
  • The need for ESCs to exist from the institutional (constitutional) point of view in the democratic consultation mechanisms of the social players and civil society,
  • The need for reform that encompasses the idea of "democratic government" within national and European  ESCs,
  • The basis for social and institutional dialogue in a democratic society, including the political, historical and cultural points of view.
