1. Introduction1.1 Aims and objectives of the studyThe aim of this study is to support the sectoral social partners (CEMR and EPSU) in the local and regional government sector in delivering a Commission funded project on strengthening social dialogue in local and regional government in the “new” Member States and candidate countries. The project is to contribute to the ongoing sectoral social dialogue process between EPSU and CEMR and will culminate in a joint conference to launch the results of the study in October 2005.

This final report provides the findings from basic desk based research and questionnaires, which were sent to several national experts and relevant social partners in each country, as well as from the more detailed case studies carried out in five countries. Three of these case studies (Poland, Estonia, Hungary) were carried out through desk based research, face to face interviews and a limited number of telephone interviews1. Two further case studies (Turkey and Slovakia) were carried out through desk based research and telephone interviews. The chapters on the eight countries not covered by detailed case studies, which were presented in the interim report, have been updated with further information gathered through desk based research and questionnaire returns. All members of EPSU and CEMR have been sent their respective country chapters for comment and some amendments have been made on the basis of comments received on these draft chapters. 2.
