Prerogatives are tasks resulting from specific powers directly conferred by the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) to the European Commission.
The prerogatives budget lines managed by the Directorate General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion deal with social dialogue, labour mobility as well as analysis of the social situation, demographics and the family.
It provides for analytical support on socio-economic developments in the EU, on social and labour market outcomes and development of indicators in the areas of income distribution, poverty, social mobility, or social exclusion. Economic and social sustainability, social and distributional aspects of other policies (climate change, energy, trade, etc.), inclusive growth, future of work, and inequalities are key topics.
The Commission supports actions undertaken by European social partners to promote social dialogue and to agree on joint actions, including through capacity building activities and more analytical activities that contribute to developing expertise in the field of industrial relations. It also supports information and training measures for workers’ organisations and transnational exchange of information and good practices in matters relevant for social dialogue at company level following calls for proposals.
