2004 Report on social partner actions in Member States to implement employment guidelines

The social partners' joint report briefly describes how the national social partners were involved in preparation of the 2003 national action plans (NAPs) after synchronisation and streamlining of the Broad Economic Policy Guidelines and the European Employment Strategy. It also provides an overview of key joint and/or unilateral initiatives of social partners relevant for the priorities identified in the European employment guidelines. These priorities are classified under the three following overarching objectives: full employment, improving quality and productivity at work, and strengthening social cohesion and inclusion.

This report was presented to the European Spring Council 2004 as part of the social partners' contribution to implementation of the European Employment Strategy and the Lisbon Strategy.
