The main <strong>the</strong>me <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Seminar was“Occupational Safety & Health”. This event was in line with <strong>the</strong>Memorandum <strong>of</strong> Understanding, which <strong>the</strong> Ministry <strong>of</strong> Labour &Employment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Government <strong>of</strong> India has signed with <strong>the</strong> EuropeanCommission to streng<strong>the</strong>n dialogue and exchange <strong>of</strong> views and information onissues <strong>of</strong> common interests within <strong>the</strong> area <strong>of</strong> employment and social policysuch as: skills, training and employment, social security, occupational healthand safety. 142Unlike <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r tasks carried out by <strong>the</strong> Commission, <strong>the</strong> high-level conferenceswith <strong>the</strong> United States, China and India have drawn attention from <strong>the</strong> MemberStates. The conferences can be seen as a useful tool to raise awareness on specificissues not only in <strong>the</strong> target countries but also within <strong>the</strong> EU (although <strong>the</strong> extent towhich this was done has not been evaluated).Candidate countriesThe EU has also been providing support and assistance to <strong>the</strong> candidate countriesin <strong>the</strong>ir efforts to implement <strong>the</strong> acquis on health and safety at work.› DG Employment has provided substantial input to align Croatian, Icelandicand Turkish health and safety acquis with applicable EU Directives and isintended to do so with Montenegro, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina andKosovo.› DG Employment has provided input to <strong>the</strong> draft Association Agreements withMoldova and Armenia.› Successful negotiations have been carried out between <strong>the</strong> EU and Ukraine onan agreement in which Ukraine committed to gradually implementing <strong>the</strong> EUacquis in <strong>the</strong> area <strong>of</strong> health and safety into its national legal order.› Occupational health and safety is included into <strong>the</strong> implementationprogramme <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> European Neighbourhood Policy and <strong>the</strong> monitoring <strong>of</strong>enforcement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> health and safety legislation is also included in <strong>the</strong>Commission paper “Enlargement Strategy and Main Challenges 2010-2011”. 143Finally, <strong>the</strong> EU played a key role in cooperating closely with emerging economies,developing countries and EU social partners during <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> June 2008ILO Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization, and during <strong>the</strong> adoption142 http://labour.nic.in/lc/SafetyHealth.pdf143 Commission Communication, Enlargement Strategy and Main Challenges 2010-2011,COM(2010) 660, Brussels, 2010http://projects.cowiportal.com/ps/A019055/Documents/3 Project documents/Interim and final report/Final report October 2012/OSH <strong>evaluation</strong>-report_Final_submitted 14 March2013.docx
116 EVALUATION OF THE EUREVALUATION OF THE EUROPEAN STRATEGY ON SAFETY AND HEALTH AT WORK 2007-2012116<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Global Jobs Pact in 2009. Both mention <strong>the</strong> need for healthy and safeworking conditions. 1444.7.3 Summary <strong>of</strong> findings on objective 6: InternationalcooperationOver <strong>the</strong> past five years, and despite limited resources dedicated to health andsafety at work, <strong>the</strong> Commission has been quite active in <strong>the</strong> area <strong>of</strong> internationalpromotion <strong>of</strong> OSH, particularly in <strong>the</strong> area <strong>of</strong> bilateral cooperation. The reason forthis can be partly explained by <strong>the</strong> fact <strong>the</strong> ILO occupies a major part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> scenewhen it comes to multilateral cooperation on OSH and <strong>the</strong>re is no need to repeatwork done by <strong>the</strong> ILO. Therefore, most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> efforts dedicated by <strong>the</strong> Commissionto <strong>the</strong> promotion <strong>of</strong> OSH on <strong>the</strong> international scale have focused on bilateralcooperation.As mentioned previously, most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> initiatives listed in <strong>the</strong> European Strategyand described here would have been implemented whe<strong>the</strong>r a <strong>strategy</strong> was adoptedat <strong>the</strong> European level or not. In addition, <strong>the</strong> Member States and o<strong>the</strong>r stakeholdershave demonstrated a certain lack <strong>of</strong> interest for this particular objective <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>European Strategy. This can be explained by <strong>the</strong> fact that <strong>the</strong>y already participateto <strong>the</strong> promotion <strong>of</strong> OSH at <strong>the</strong> international level through <strong>the</strong> ILO and <strong>the</strong>refore donot feel committed by <strong>the</strong> <strong>strategy</strong>’s ambitions on this specific aspect. As is <strong>the</strong>case with Objective 1, this calls into question <strong>the</strong> relevance <strong>of</strong> including <strong>the</strong>promotion <strong>of</strong> OSH at <strong>the</strong> international level as a separate objective <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> EuropeanStrategy.144 More information at http://www.ilo.org/brussels/ilo-and-eu/lang--en/index.htmhttp://projects.cowiportal.com/ps/A019055/Documents/3 Project documents/Interim and final report/Final report October 2012/OSH <strong>evaluation</strong>report_Final_submitted14 March 2013.docx
