Role and importance of social dialogue at EU level
ART 154 of the Treaty
(ex 138)
ART 155 of the Treaty
(ex 139)
The Commission has a responsibility
to promote consultation of the social partners
at community level and to take every
useful measure to facilitate their dialogue,
taking care to ensure a balanced
support of both sides.
The Community level dialogue between
the social partners can lead,
if they wish it, to contractual relations,
including agreements.
The Commission consults social partners first
The implementation can be made either
by an EU instrument or through
national channels
Social partners can engage into a dialogue
New Article 152
The Union recognises and promotes the role of the social partners at its level,
taking into account the diversity of national systems.
It shall facilitate dialogue between the social partners, respecting their autonomy.
