The meeting is organised UNI europa and EuroCiett in the framework of the project supported by the EC DG for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities. Representatives of two national union centres in Bulgaria, Podkrepa and CITUB, will be present in the meeting as well as employers and the government officials.



The meeting aims at increasing the representation and awareness of the social partners in the sector of private employment agencies. Participants will hear about the main provisions of the newly adopted Directive on temporary work (2008/104/EC) as well as case studies from other EU member states. Mr Totyo Mladenov, Minister of Labour and Social Policy of Bulgaria, will talk about the state of play with regards to the adoption of a specific regulation for temporary agency work.



Similar roundtables have already been successfully organised by the two EU sectoral social partners in Poland (2006) and Hungary (2007), paving the way for the establishment of a national sectoral social dialogue in these two countries.
