The project will end on the 30th of June 2005 and has as main aim contributing to the preparation of candidate countries from Central and Eastern Europe in order for them, as future members of EU, to face the economic, social and political challenges within the following fields:
- developing the social and political dialogue by the employers organisations, by strengthening the capacity of understanding employers interests, the perfectioning of bairgaining techniques with trade unions, building model social relations within the enterprise and
- improving labour protection, by strengthening the ability of the associations for a comprehensive consultation, sensibilisation of the selected enterprises and realisation of model measures in this field.

The respective project is financially supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economy and Labour (BMWA) and is implemented by the Federal Union of German Employers Associations Union (BDA) together with the Foundation for Economic Development and Professional Training, Bonn (SEQUA), regional employers associations and chambers in Germany.

Within the project, CNIPMMR will identify the necessary measures in order to achieve the objective of the programme and will organise seminars in co-operation with the German partner, for the benefit of its branches.

The results of the CNIPMMR participation in this project - the studies and analyses - will be disseminated to SMEs and CNIPMMR branches through the SMEs Business Review and CNIPMMR website.
