Representativeness of the European social partner organisations: Gas sector

This study provides information allowing for an assessment of the representativeness of the actors involved in the European sectoral social dialogue committee for the gas sector. Their relative representativeness legitimises their right to be consulted, their role and effective participation in the European sectoral social dialogue and their capacity to negotiate agreements.

The aim of Eurofound’s representativeness studies is to identify the relevant national and European social partner organisations in the field of industrial relations in selected sectors. This study identified IndustriAll and EPSU – representing employees – and Eurogas – representing employers – as the representative European-level social partner organisations in the gas sector.
