Why an agreement on job profiles?
To contribute to the debate on transparency instruments at EU level
Added value for the employers and employees
More impact on the actual operations of the sector
More visibility for the sector social dialogue

legal frameworks Cultural differences

Framework Agreement
European Framework Agreement on Competence Profiles for Process Operators and First Line Supervisors in the Chemical Industry
First agreement of its kind Self-commitment of the chemical social partners

Definition of minimum core competences for the jobs known as Process Operator and First Line Supervisor
Framework Agreement
European Framework Agreement on Competence Profiles for Process Operators and First Line Supervisors in the Chemical Industry
Nature: not legally binding; no interference with collective bargaining or national law
Objectives: reference for national VET systems, strengthening of the social partners in the field of education, training and lifelong learning
Follow-up: yearly reports in the sectoral social dialogue, evaluation after three years
First follow-up report Plenary meeting 25 September 2012
1) In which way has your organisation promoted the Framework Agreement? The FA promoted by nearly all of these organisations
in manifold ways.
2) In how far has the FA influenced the relationship with your social partner at national level? Either the relationship improved or it remained at the
level it was before.
First follow-up report, plenary meeting 25 September 2012
3) Has the FA had an impact on the VET debate in your country? Clear impact on the VET debate and even on the
definition of job profiles in the chemical industry in the “new” member states.
Used as a reference even in some “old” member states, vis-à-vis public authorities and VET institutions.
4) In case there has been no impact of the FA, what do you think are the reasons? Very few answers: either social dialogue
“underdeveloped” (follow-up not possible) or “too developed” (follow-up not necessary)
