By combining social dialogue and tripartite concertation, the Foundation project 'Social dialogue and conflict resolution mechanisms' has initiated a way to produce national development projects outlining effective industrial relations systems in all 10 acceding countries. The project, co-funded by the Swedish Worklife Enlargement project, is a follow-up to previous projects on social dialogue and EMU in the current and new EU Member States. The findings will be presented at a conference in Ljubljana, Slovenia on 31 March 2004.
'The workshops on conflict resolution have led to real dialogue between participants,' says Frank Pullicino, Director of the Department of Industrial and Employment Relations in Malta. 'For us in Malta, the project will contribute to a wider use of tripartite concertation, leading to peaceful industrial relations.'
