On 22 March 2022, the European Committe of Social Rights (ECSR) held a meeting with experts from the Danish Maritime Authority to discuss the restrictions on trade union freedom and collective bargaining following from legislation on the Danish International Ships Register (DIS). The meeting took place within the framework of the dialogue with the States Parties foreseen by Article 24 of the Charter as amended. The ECSR has long held the restrictions concerned to be in breach of the European Social Charter Articles 5 and 6§2. 

Representatives of the International Labour Organisation also took part in the meeting.
