Following the seminar Reinforcing social rights protection in Europe to achieve greater unity and equality, organised under the auspices of the French Presidency of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on 19 September 2019, representatives of the fifteen Council of Europe member States that already accept collective complaints prompt others to reinforce social rights protection by accepting this monitoring procedure.
The collective complaints procedure under the European Social Charter, introduced in 1995, aims to increase the effectiveness, speed and impact of the implementation of the Charter and therefore address in a positive way social rights issues faced by member States.
