This article begins by an assessment of the last ten years. It focuses on the possible consequences of the developments of an autonomous social dialogue. We illustrate this by the example of the telework agreement. In conclusion, we present the main current challenges and the new ones emerging from this new phase of the European social dialogue.

The last ten years, the European social dialogue has much evolved at least if we consider its procedural nature. Firstly, the implementation of the social agreement has led to te adoption of three negotiated legislations. Then, the on-going developement is leading to truly autonomous agreement between the social partners (without the Commission and the Council).
