The European Social Dialogue Committee for Central Government Administrations (SDC CGA) was established by the European Commission in 2010.

improving the functioning of administrations;
establishing EU minimum standards on working conditions;
promoting social dialogue at national and European levels;
influencing EU policy on public administrations.

EUPAE (European Public Administration Employers) represents 18 EU governments including 12 as full-time members (Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Portugal, Romania, Spain, and Slovakia) and 6 as observers (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Latvia, Malta, Slovenia). (The UK was a member until the Brexit).

TUNED (Trade Unions' National and European Administration Delegation) consists of a majority of EPSU affiliates with complementary representativity of affiliates from CESI (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Luxembourg and Slovenia).
