Some organisations dealing with the social affairs in the sport field have decided to progress on social affairs linked to business issues at European level. In order to achieve that aim, 4 national organisations from 4 countries decided to found EASE in January 2003.
EASE stands for European Association of Sport Employers. EASE is a European non for profit organisation registered in France . It is an independent association of national sport employers wishing to promote social dialogue. More...The project "Moving forward towards European social dialogue in the sport sector: Content and Contact" - abbreviated as CC-project (VS/2008/0194 – DG EMPL) - aims to bridge the gap between the end of the project "Reinforce the representativeness of the social partners in the sport sector: Row the BoaT" - abbreviated as RBT project (VS/2006/0547) - and the start of the official European social dialogue for the sport sector as a whole, including the sub-sectors voluntary, commercial and professional sports, of which the latter respects the specific initiatives of Professional Football, Elite Athletes and Cyclists.
The CC-project activities started on 1st July 2008 and will finish on 30th June 2009. More... The general aim of the “Row the BoaT project” - RBT project - was to develop the social dialogue in the European sports sector through the reinforcement of existing social partners, and through EASE and EURO-MEI's joint work to support the development of social partners in countries where the social dialogue in the sport sector is emerging or less developed.
All this work was carried out with the intention of submitting an application for the creation of a sport social dialogue committee at the end of the project.
The RBT project activities started on 1st December 2006 and finished on 29th February 2008. More...Social dialogue is defined by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) to include all types of negotiation, consultation or simply exchange of information between, or among, representatives of governments, employers and workers, on issues of common interest related to economic and social policy.
 It can exist as a tripartite process, with the government as an official party to the dialogue or it may consist of bipartite relations between labour and management (or trade unions and employer organisations), with or without indirect government involvement.
Dialogue can be informal or institutionalised and often it is a combination of both.
It takes place at either national, regional or company level.
It can be inter–professional, sectoral or a combination of all of those.
The social dialogue and the quality of industrial relations are at the centre of the European social model. More...

European social dialogue in professional football08.07.23
"Organisations representing players, leagues and clubs from around the EU today sat down together for the first time, in Paris, to discuss and tackle labour issues of common concern in the professional football sector. The new social dialogue committee – launched by Employment and Social Affairs Commissioner Vladimír Špidla and Education, Training, Culture and Youth Commissioner Ján Figel – brings together the International Federation of Professional Footballers' Associations-Division Europe (FIFPro) and the Association of European Professional Football Leagues (EPFL). The employers' side is complemented by the European Club Association (ECA). Given the specificity of sport governance, the social partners have invited UEFA to chair their dialogue."
