EURO-MEI (the Media, Entertainment, Arts and Sports sector of UNI europa) and EASE (the European Association of Sport Employers) took concrete steps towards European Sectoral Social Dialogue (ESSD) for the Sport sector at the occasion of the Informal Social Dialogue in the framework of the CC-project (Content and Contact: Moving forward towards European social dialogue in the sport sector).



This meeting was held in Brussels on 27th May 2009 and had the same format as the official social dialogue meetings facilitated by the European Commission: separate employer and employee meetings and a plenary session. Many topics for discussion in social dialogue in the sport sector as well as the need for such a dialogue were on the table. The conclusions of these discussions were written into a joint statement by EURO-MEI and EASE, which would be the third document negotiated and agreed by the European social partners for the sport sector after their mutual recognition in February 2008 at the Final Conference of the RBT-Project.
