European Union - ILO Partnership

The European Union is a key partner of the ILO in advancing decent work and social justice worldwide.  

The ILO works closely with the European Commission Directorate-General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations, the directorate-general for International Cooperation and Partnerships and the directorate-general for Employment and social affairs as well as several European Union delegations in Asia on the promotion of fundamental principles and rights at work.   

The European Union actively promotes ending forced labour, modern slavery, human trafficking and child labour and contributes to enhancing decent work and competitiveness in the global garment industry through Better work, as well as improving workers' rights and working conditions including in the agricultural sector, the fishing sector and the supply chains.
