Balgarianovinite.com The economic and social councils of Bulgaria, Spain and Portugal are holding a meeting in Sofia on Friday to discuss key challenges related to the labour market, youth policies, economic growth, competitiveness and entrepreneurship.
The forum takes place at 9:30 am in Hall 3 of the National Assembly and brings together representatives of the three advisory bodies, the legislature and the executive, the European Commission Representation in Bulgaria, as well as employers’ organisations, trade unions, academia and civil society.
The meeting also includes a delegation from the Labour and Social Policy Ministry, alongside invited participants from the three councils, according to the Economic and Social Council of Bulgaria.
Discussions focus on exchanging experience and best practices across EU member states, particularly in relation to social dialogue and the role of organised civil society in shaping public policy.
A key emphasis is placed on the contribution of social partners and the function of economic and social councils as a bridge between institutions and society, aimed at producing more balanced and effective policy outcomes.
Organisers say the forum is expected to deepen cooperation between the three councils and to help develop joint messages and recommendations on priority issues on the European agenda.
The event is held under cooperation agreements between the three institutions and marks the first time Bulgaria hosts such a trilateral format involving the national economic and social councils.
