European agencies Eurofound, EU-OSHA, Cedefop: Council reached agreement

On 8 December 2016 the Council reached an agreement on new regulations governing the European foundation for the improvement of living and working conditions (Eurofound), the European agency for safety and health at work (EU-OSHA) and the European center for the development of vocational training (Cedefop).

The common feature of these agencies is their tripartite nature, reflected both in their governance and functioning: national authorities, trade unions and employer representatives participate in the governing bodies as well as in dedicated advisory committees of the agencies.
