PURPOSE: to revise Council Decision 2003/174/EC establishing a Tripartite Social Summit for Growth and Employment.

PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision.

BACKGROUND: the Tripartite Social Summit for Growth and Employment (TSS) was set up by Council Decision 2003/174/EC, which formalised the practice of holding highlevel, informal meetings since 1997 in the framework of the European Employment Strategy, and subsequently the Lisbon Strategy.

This Decision was proposed to institutionalise the practice of high-level consultation between the EU institutions and the EU social partners. The proposal meant abolishing the former Standing Committee on Employment, which was set up in 1970 and reformed in 1999.

Since 2003, the TSS has been a separate event from the European Council meetings and has broadly fulfilled its aim of facilitating the exchange of views at the highest level between the Commission, the EU Presidency and the EU social partners on employment and social aspects of the Lisbon Strategy (since 2010, and then of the Europe 2020 Strategy).

Until the Lisbon Treaty entered into force, the meetings were co-chaired by the Council Presidency and the President of the Commission. The 2003 Decision also gave a role to the two subsequent Presidencies.

In its Communication of 2 October 2013 on the social dimension of the EMU, the Commission announced that it will present a proposal to revise the 2003 Council Decision. This is the aim of this proposal.

The amendment of the 2003 Council Decision is also needed as a result of the institutional changes brought in by the Treaty of Lisbon.

In addition, the overall policy framework needs to be revised, replacing the Lisbon Strategy with the Europe 2020 Strategy and specifying how the TSS for Growth and Employment contributes to the overall governance.

CONTENT: this proposal seeks to revise the 2003 Council Decision. The main provisions may be summarised as follows:

Task : its tasks shall be to:

ensure, in compliance with the Treaty and with due regard for the powers of the institutions and bodies of the Union, that there is a continuous concertation between the Council, the Commission and the social partners; enable the social partners at European level to contribute, in the context of their social dialogue, to the various components of the Union’s strategy for growth and jobs.

Membership : the main amendments concern the membership of the TSS. The Summit shall consist of the:

President of the European Council,

the Council Presidency, the two subsequent presidencies, the Commission, the social partners.

The ministers from those three presidencies and the Commissioner responsible for employment and social affairs shall also be present.

The social partners’ representatives shall be divided into two delegations of equal size comprising 10 workers’ representatives and 10 employers’ representatives, taking into account the need to ensure a balanced participation between men and women.

Each delegation shall consist of representatives of European cross-industry organisations, either representing general interests or more specific interests of supervisory and managerial staff and small and medium-sized businesses at European level.

Technical coordination shall be provided for the workers’ delegation by the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and for the employers’ delegation by the Confederation of European Business (BUSINESSEUROPE).

Technical provisions are set out as regards:

the preparation of the Summit; the operation (the Summit shall meet at least twice a year. The meetings shall be held before the respective spring and autumn sessions of the European Council); information on the Summit’s discussions.

Presidency and organisation : the Summit shall be chaired jointly by the President of the European Council and the President of the Commission.

The meetings of the Summit shall be convened by the joint chairmen on their own initiative, in consultation with the social partners.

PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision. BACKGROUND: the Tripartite Social Summit for Growth and Employment (TSS) was set up by Council Decision 2003/174/EC, which formalised the practice of holding highlevel, informal meetings since 1997 in the framework of the European Employment Strategy, and subsequently the Lisbon Strategy. This Decision was proposed to institutionalise the practice of high-level consultation between the EU institutions and the EU social partners. The proposal meant abolishing the former Standing Committee on Employment, which was set up in 1970 and reformed in 1999. Since 2003, the TSS has been a separate event from the European Council meetings and has broadly fulfilled its aim of facilitating the exchange of views at the highest level between the Commission, the EU Presidency and the EU social partners on employment and social aspects of the Lisbon Strategy (since 2010, and then of the Europe 2020 Strategy). Until the Lisbon Treaty entered into force, the meetings were co-chaired by the Council Presidency and the President of the Commission. The 2003 Decision also gave a role to the two subsequent Presidencies. In its Communication of 2 October 2013 on the social dimension of the EMU, the Commission announced that it will present a proposal to revise the 2003 Council Decision. This is the aim of this proposal. The amendment of the 2003 Council Decision is also needed as a result of the institutional changes brought in by the Treaty of Lisbon. In addition, the overall policy framework needs to be revised, replacing the Lisbon Strategy with the Europe 2020 Strategy and specifying how the TSS for Growth and Employment contributes to the overall governance. CONTENT: this proposal seeks to revise the 2003 Council Decision. The main provisions may be summarised as follows: Task : its tasks shall be to: ensure, in compliance with the Treaty and with due regard for the powers of the institutions and bodies of the Union, that there is a continuous concertation between the Council, the Commission and the social partners; enable the social partners at European level to contribute, in the context of their social dialogue, to the various components of the Union’s strategy for growth and jobs. Membership : the main amendments concern the membership of the TSS. The Summit shall consist of the: President of the European Council, the Council Presidency, the two subsequent presidencies, the Commission, the social partners. The ministers from those three presidencies and the Commissioner responsible for employment and social affairs shall also be present. The social partners’ representatives shall be divided into two delegations of equal size comprising 10 workers’ representatives and 10 employers’ representatives, taking into account the need to ensure a balanced participation between men and women. Each delegation shall consist of representatives of European cross-industry organisations, either representing general interests or more specific interests of supervisory and managerial staff and small and medium-sized businesses at European level. Technical coordination shall be provided for the workers’ delegation by the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and for the employers’ delegation by the Confederation of European Business (BUSINESSEUROPE). Technical provisions are set out as regards: the preparation of the Summit; the operation (the Summit shall meet at least twice a year. The meetings shall be held before the respective spring and autumn sessions of the European Council); information on the Summit’s discussions. Presidency and organisation : the Summit shall be chaired jointly by the President of the European Council and the President of the Commission.

        • PURPOSE: to revise Council Decision 2003/174/EC establishing a Tripartite Social Summit for Growth and Employment.

          PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision.

          BACKGROUND: the Tripartite Social Summit for Growth and Employment (TSS) was set up by Council Decision 2003/174/EC, which formalised the practice of holding highlevel, informal meetings since 1997 in the framework of the European Employment Strategy, and subsequently the Lisbon Strategy.

          This Decision was proposed to institutionalise the practice of high-level consultation between the EU institutions and the EU social partners. The proposal meant abolishing the former Standing Committee on Employment, which was set up in 1970 and reformed in 1999.

          Since 2003, the TSS has been a separate event from the European Council meetings and has broadly fulfilled its aim of facilitating the exchange of views at the highest level between the Commission, the EU Presidency and the EU social partners on employment and social aspects of the Lisbon Strategy (since 2010, and then of the Europe 2020 Strategy).

          Until the Lisbon Treaty entered into force, the meetings were co-chaired by the Council Presidency and the President of the Commission. The 2003 Decision also gave a role to the two subsequent Presidencies.

          In its Communication of 2 October 2013 on the social dimension of the EMU, the Commission announced that it will present a proposal to revise the 2003 Council Decision. This is the aim of this proposal.

          The amendment of the 2003 Council Decision is also needed as a result of the institutional changes brought in by the Treaty of Lisbon.

          In addition, the overall policy framework needs to be revised, replacing the Lisbon Strategy with the Europe 2020 Strategy and specifying how the TSS for Growth and Employment contributes to the overall governance.

          CONTENT: this proposal seeks to revise the 2003 Council Decision. The main provisions may be summarised as follows:

          Task: its tasks shall be to:

          • ensure, in compliance with the Treaty and with due regard for the powers of the institutions and bodies of the Union, that there is a continuous concertation between the Council, the Commission
          • and the social partners;
          • enable the social partners at European level to contribute, in the context of their social dialogue, to the various components of the Union’s strategy for growth and jobs.

          Membership: the main amendments concern the membership of the TSS. The Summit shall consist of the:

          President of the European Council,

          • the Council Presidency,
          • the two subsequent presidencies,
          • the Commission,
          • the social partners.

          The ministers from those three presidencies and the Commissioner responsible for employment and social affairs shall also be present.

          The social partners’ representatives shall be divided into two delegations of equal size comprising 10 workers’ representatives and 10 employers’ representatives, taking into account the need to ensure a balanced participation between men and women.

          Each delegation shall consist of representatives of European cross-industry organisations, either representing general interests or more specific interests of supervisory and managerial staff and small and medium-sized businesses at European level.

          Technical coordination shall be provided for the workers’ delegation by the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and for the employers’ delegation by the Confederation of European Business (BUSINESSEUROPE).

          Technical provisions are set out as regards:

          • the preparation of the Summit;
          • the operation (the Summit shall meet at least twice a year. The meetings shall be held before the respective spring and autumn sessions of the European Council);
          • information on the Summit’s discussions.

          Presidency and organisation: the Summit shall be chaired jointly by the President of the European Council and the President of the Commission.

          The meetings of the Summit shall be convened by the joint chairmen on their own initiative, in consultation with the social partners.

        • The European Parliament adopted by 527 votes to 59, with 38 abstentions, in the framework of a special legislative procedure (consent), an interim resolution on the proposal for a Council decision on a Tripartite Social Summit for Growth and Employment.

          Parliament called on the Council to take account of the following amendments:

          Involve the social partners: Parliament made reference to the Declaration by the European Social Partners on Social Partner Involvement in European Economic Governance adopted on 24 October 2013 in which the EU social partners confirmed their support for the Tripartite Social Summit for growth and employment and called for a coherent process of consultation of the social partners in the context of the European Semester.

          Parliament recalled the importance of the social partners’s expertise in the areas covered by the Summit.

          Composition: Parliament stated that the Summit should also consist of the President of the European Council, the Council Presidency and the two subsequent presidencies, the Commission and the social partners, represented at the highest level. The ministers from those three presidencies and the Commissioner responsible for employment and social affairs shall also be present. Depending on the agenda, other ministers from these three presidencies, other Commissioners and the Chair of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs of the European Parliament may also be invited to take part.

          Parliament called for each delegation to consist of representatives of European cross-industry organisations, either representing general interests or more specific interests of supervisory and managerial staff and micro, small and medium-sized businesses at European level.

          The agenda for the Summit should be determined jointly by, and based on the equal partnership between, the Council, the Commission and the workers’ and employers’ cross-industry organisations taking part in the work of the Summit.

          The matters on the agenda shall be discussed by the Council meeting in its Employment, Social Policy, Health and Consumer Affairs configuration, based as appropriate on a contribution of all its preparatory bodies.

          Monitoring: the Summit shall meet at least twice a year. The meetings shall be held before the respective spring and autumn sessions of the European Council, and the outcome of the Summit shall be presented to the following European Council for decision-making. Lastly, The joint chairmen shall draw up a summary of the Summit’s discussions in order to inform the relevant Council configurations, the European Parliament and the general public.

        • The Committee on Employment and Social Affairs adopted, in the framework of a special legislative procedure (Parliament consent), the interim report by Csaba ŐRY (EPP, HU) on the proposal for a Council decision on a Tripartite Social Summit for Growth and Employment.

          Involving the social partners: Members recalled the position of the social partners and their declaration adopted on 24 October 2013 in which it confirmed their support for the Tripartite Social Summit for growth and employment and called for a coherent process of consultation of the social partners in the context of the European Semester.

        • PURPOSE: to revise Council Decision 2003/174/EC establishing a Tripartite Social Summit for Growth and Employment.

          PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision.

          BACKGROUND: the Tripartite Social Summit for Growth and Employment (TSS) was set up by Council Decision 2003/174/EC, which formalised the practice of holding highlevel, informal meetings since 1997 in the framework of the European Employment Strategy, and subsequently the Lisbon Strategy.

          This Decision was proposed to institutionalise the practice of high-level consultation between the EU institutions and the EU social partners. The proposal meant abolishing the former Standing Committee on Employment, which was set up in 1970 and reformed in 1999.

          Since 2003, the TSS has been a separate event from the European Council meetings and has broadly fulfilled its aim of facilitating the exchange of views at the highest level between the Commission, the EU Presidency and the EU social partners on employment and social aspects of the Lisbon Strategy (since 2010, and then of the Europe 2020 Strategy).

          Until the Lisbon Treaty entered into force, the meetings were co-chaired by the Council Presidency and the President of the Commission. The 2003 Decision also gave a role to the two subsequent Presidencies.

          In its Communication of 2 October 2013 on the social dimension of the EMU, the Commission announced that it will present a proposal to revise the 2003 Council Decision. This is the aim of this proposal.

          The amendment of the 2003 Council Decision is also needed as a result of the institutional changes brought in by the Treaty of Lisbon.

          In addition, the overall policy framework needs to be revised, replacing the Lisbon Strategy with the Europe 2020 Strategy and specifying how the TSS for Growth and Employment contributes to the overall governance.

          CONTENT: this proposal seeks to revise the 2003 Council Decision. The main provisions may be summarised as follows:

          Task: its tasks shall be to:

          • ensure, in compliance with the Treaty and with due regard for the powers of the institutions and bodies of the Union, that there is a continuous concertation between the Council, the Commission
          • and the social partners;
          • enable the social partners at European level to contribute, in the context of their social dialogue, to the various components of the Union’s strategy for growth and jobs.

          Membership: the main amendments concern the membership of the TSS. The Summit shall consist of the:

          President of the European Council,

          • the Council Presidency,
          • the two subsequent presidencies,
          • the Commission,
          • the social partners.

          The ministers from those three presidencies and the Commissioner responsible for employment and social affairs shall also be present.

          The social partners’ representatives shall be divided into two delegations of equal size comprising 10 workers’ representatives and 10 employers’ representatives, taking into account the need to ensure a balanced participation between men and women.

          Each delegation shall consist of representatives of European cross-industry organisations, either representing general interests or more specific interests of supervisory and managerial staff and small and medium-sized businesses at European level.

          Technical coordination shall be provided for the workers’ delegation by the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and for the employers’ delegation by the Confederation of European Business (BUSINESSEUROPE).

          Technical provisions are set out as regards:

          • the preparation of the Summit;
          • the operation (the Summit shall meet at least twice a year. The meetings shall be held before the respective spring and autumn sessions of the European Council);
          • information on the Summit’s discussions.

          Presidency and organisation: the Summit shall be chaired jointly by the President of the European Council and the President of the Commission.

          The meetings of the Summit shall be convened by the joint chairmen on their own initiative, in consultation with the social partners.
