CEMR officially announced as well its decision to participate in a social dialogue committee for social services.

In particular, the new work programme for 2023-2025 has been adopted and it has four main pillars: digitalisation, violence and the workplace, economic governance and capacity building. Both for digitalisation and violence at the workplace, EPSU and CEMR agreed to negotiate agreements (whose nature will be defined later).
