In particular, a tripartite strategic planning workshop will be organized with the participation of representatives from the Ministry of Social Policy, the State Labour Inspection, the State Service of Mining Supervision and Industrial Safety, the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Service, the Centre for Economic Reforms and the relevant employers’ and workers’ organizations. The objective will be to facilitate the joint development of the statute of the State Service on Labour Issues, formulate the implementation strategy of the reform, define the standards of reference in relation to ILO and EU norms and practice, and determine the areas of ILO’s future support.
