(CEOE) SPANISH CONFEDERATION OF EMPLOYERS' ORGANIZATIONS (CEOE) |
Spanish employers' association set up in 1977 as an umbrella organization for more than 100 territorial associations/federations and about 50 industrial federations. According to its own figures, its members represent more than a million enterprises, which in their turn employ 75 per cent. of the working population. Its main governing bodies are the General Assembly, Management Council and Executive Committee. The President is elected every three years by the General Assembly. Its principal members, apart from CEPYME , include FTN , CONFEMETAL, CEIM and AEB. It is undoubtedly the most established and representative employers' organization in Spain and, as such, signs the majority of collective agreements and usually represents employers before the authorities and trade unions. Its work covers both labour and purely economic issues.
