In the framework of the joint Integrated Programme of the EU Social Dialogue, UEAPME, BUSINESSEUROPE and CEEP launched today the Employers’ Resource Centre (ERC) website.

The website provides information on the following:

 past and future activities of the EU Social Dialogue & database of agreed texts;
 documentation for ongoing joint EU social partner projects;
 EU funding opportunities for projects & assistance in tendering and management;
 how to access funds for translating texts negotiated in the EU social dialogue into languages of EU member states as well as candidate countries;
 how to access funds to send “observers” to EU social dialogue meetings in Brussels and have their travel and accommodations costs reimbursed (available for federations from Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Malta, Cyprus, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia and Turkey) (mentoring programme);
 how to access funds for organising up to 3 seminars (with up to 40 participants) as a follow up to the social dialogue capacity building project developed in 2004-2006 in the EU-8 Central and Eastern European countries (capacity building).
