"Moving forward towards European social dialogue in the sport sector: Content and Contact" (CC-project)

In line with the point 53 of the Action Plan “Pierre de Coubertin” to the White Paper on Sport (July 2007), the European Commission continues to support EASE and EURO-MEI joint work to develop social dialogue by financing the CC-project.

« (53) The Commission encourages and welcomes all efforts leading to the establishment of European Social Dialogue Committees in the sport sector. It will continue to give support to both employers and employees and it will pursue its open dialogue with all sport organisations on this issue ».

The CC-project aims to bridge the gap between the end of the RBT project and the creation of the European Sectoral Social Dialogue Committee for the sport sector as a whole, including the sub-sectors not-for-profit, commercial (active leisure) and professional sports, of which the latter respects the specific initiatives of professional football.
