At the Summit in Genval on 22 November 2002, the social partners adopted their first joint multiannual work programme for the period 2003-2005. In this framework, the social partners concluded the first agreements in a new generation of “autonomous” initiatives, whereby implementation at the national level was entrusted to the social partners themselves. This fresh approach allowed the conclusion of three important framework agreements on telework (2002), on work-related stress (2004), and on harassment and violence at work (2007). A framework of actions for the development of lifelong skills and qualifications (2002) and a framework of action on equality between men and women (2005) were also adopted.

In March 2006, the social partners set the seal on their second multiannual work programme for 2006-2008. This commits the participants to action in a range of areas including: negotiating a  framework agreement on harassment and violence at work (this was concluded in April 2007); concluding a joint analysis on the key challenges facing European labour markets; implementing a new integrated programme (which includes joint action to manage change, building social dialogue in the new EU Member States, etc.); following up existing agreements.
