• Autonome Sozialdialoge Auf Eu-Ebene. Zur Problematik Der Implementation von 'Texten Der Neuen Generation'**

The most recent years in the social dialogue between employers' associations and trade unions at EU level are characterised by 'autonomy'.

• Sektorale Sozialdialoge in Der Europäischen Union - Zur Aktuellen Situation Und Zukünftigen Entwicklung**

This paper deals with the current situation and future prospects for social dialogue, in particular, at the sectoral level. In contrast to the majority of other contributions, this article focuses on the neglected phases of transposition and implementation. It presents first a short overview of the development of traditional social dialogue up to the major restructuring in the late 1990s. Next, it focuses on the currently dominant forms and their development and controversial judgements. Then it analyses the next generation of autonomous, bilateral dialogues, their prospects, and the future role of the European Commission. The article concludes with a short analysis of the outlook for the contribution of these social dialogues to the development of "European" industrial relations.
