EURopEan ELECTRICITy soCIaL DIaLoGUE The European electricity sector social dialogue allows EURELECTRIC to address sector-wide issues with the European trade union bodies EPSU and IndustriALL, supported by the European Commission. Recent activities have focused mainly on anticipating change caused by the transition towards a low-carbon economy. In this perspective, we believe that social dialogue at European level has a key role to play in complementing national efforts to enable a smooth transition of our sector. Role of public services In 2011 and 2012 EURELECTRIC thus took part in a joint project “Change in Public Services: Fora for the improvements of expertise in restructuring”, which involved employers and employees of six key public service providers. The project allowed them to speak with one voice on common challenges, including the economic and financial crisis, demographic change and ageing of the workforce, and skills needs. The outcomes were presented at a conference in February 2012, which closed with the signing of a joint declaration highlighting the contribution of public services to the economy. 44 eurelectric activity report 2012 EURELECTRIC continued its cooperation with other public service providers by adopting a joint declaration at the Tripartite Social Summit in October 2012. The summit gathers European social partners, the European Commission, and the current and two subsequent EU Presidencies. Discussions focused on “promoting growth, jobs and social inclusion: the involvement of social partners”. In this perspective, the joint declaration urged EU policymakers to “think the future”. Anticipating future skills needs Back in 2010, EURELECTRIC, EPSU and IndustriALL published a study analysing measures taken by the electricity sector to address climate change with regard to their impact on sector-related employment, working conditions, skills and qualifications. In 2012 the three partners carried out a follow-up project to identify national and local bodies whose work is related to electricity (and energy) sector skills, competencies, qualifications and labour market research. The findings will help the associations to better understand and anticipate developments related to employment, human resources and skills. The next step will lie in assessing whether the identified national bodies would be interested in closer cooperation at European level within a European Sectoral Skill Council.
