Dialogue
and social partnership
We have always favoured dialogue and negotiation with social partners. The importance of business associations in Spain is reflected in the Preliminary Section of the Spanish Constitution of 1978, which also highlights their contribution to the defence and promotion of economic and social interests.
Influence on society
The CEOE’s opinions are listened to in the upper and lower houses of the Spanish parliament, and at public administrations and official bodies.
