Second national meeting in Spain
9th June 2016
 

The Spanish confederation of Special Employmet Centers (CONACEE) which includes more than 65% of the special employment centers in Spain and more than 20.000 employees with disabilities, hosted the third meeting of the partners of the project PESSIS III. The project aims at promoting recognition at the European level for the socials services sector to participate in social dialogue as employers.

To achieve a real impact on European policies, a minimum representation of 50% of the social sector is needed. The European social sector represents 10, 7 € of the active population in the EU and has not been involved in the Europe 2020 strategy until recently. The European social dialogue is sectoral and inter-sectoral, including 43 sectors with sectoral committees that represent the 80% of the active population in the EU.

The second national meeting was held in Spain on the 9th of June. During this meeting, participants presented the strategy and recommendations for the Spanish social sector. These key recommendations will be debated until November to unify between all Spanish partners a common Declaration coming from the social sector that will be presented at the European Parliament. In parallel, the same exercise will be followed in other European countries participating in PESSIS III.
