    Trade unions: Social dialogue: 1998, the European Commission decided to launch Sectoral Dialogue Committees promoting dialogue between the social partners in different sectors at European level. The Insurance Sectoral Social Dialogue Committee (ISSDC) is composed of organisations representing employees and employers.

    BIPAR and other employers’ representatives take part in the regular meetings with the trade unions representing the employees working in the insurance and financial sector (UNI-Europa), in the framework of the ISSDC. The meetings are held 3-4 times per year, in Brussels at the Commission premises.
