"Social dialogue refers to the discussions, consultations, negotiations and joint actions that regularly take place between such social partners as employers and trade unions. Social dialogue covers a wide range of social and work-related issues, and sometimes involves public authorities. At the EU level, it was launched in 1985 by European Commission President Delors at Val Duchesse. Developing and fostering social dialogue is an essential element of the European social model, as it plays a crucial role in promoting competitiveness and fairness and enhancing economic prosperity and social well-being. European social dialogue complements the social dialogue happening at the national level."
