As the setting up of the Economic and Monetary Union in Europe had strong impacts on the functions, roles and activities of the National Central Banks, the SCECBU and the ECB signed a Protocol Agreement on Social Dialogue at ESCB level on the 3rd of December 1999, updated in 2019.
Its aim is to provide for the exchange of information and discussions on possible decisions to be taken by the ECB’s decision making bodies in fulfilment of the tasks of the ESCB that may have a major impact on the quantitative and qualitative employment situation in the Central Banks.
