A European Alliance in Social Insurance

In a constantly evolving and increasingly complex environment, strategic alliances are the way forward. The continued development of the European Single Market and in particular the free movement of citizens in an enlarged Europe call for greater transnational cooperation between the various social insurance systems. The different systems need to come together to exchange views and develop strategies to meet the common socio-economic challenges, to share their good practices and take constructive positions so that they can contribute to the decision-making process at a European level. To this end, the European Social Insurance Platform (ESIP) was created in 1996. From 1 January 2009, ESIP exists as a legal entity under Belgian law and represents a strategic alliance of over 40 national social security organisations across Europe.
