Consultation participation and their own register declarations, side by side. Counts, not judgments — participation is not influence.
Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 583 consultation files tracked so far (42,224 submissions, mostly 2025–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.
Register facts self-declared (snapshot 2 Sept 2026); cost bands are floors. Shared files are shared attention, not evidence of coordination.
What each said, in their own words
Their opening passages on the files they share, verbatim and in filing order. We do not summarize, compare, or characterize positions — read them at source.
ETUC calls for a worker centred VET Strategy that delivers concrete rights, quality jobs, fair pay and strong social dialogue. The strategy must be rooted in the European Pillar of Social Rights. ETUC insists that VET must serve workers and society, not only competitiveness.
SALAR stresses that the Member States remain responsible for the organisation and content of vocational education and training systems. SALAR however thinks that a European VET strategy, with relevant priorities, can provide common orientation, coordination and support at EU level to improve the quality, relevance and resilience of these systems.
The Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR) declared at Gothenburg Summit the 17th November 2017 that collective bargaining is at the heart of the Swedish labour market. We have a high level of organization for trade unions and employers’ associations.
Summary: The ETUC has not taken a specific position on (the use of) ‘Passerelle’ clauses. However, it did express itself at several occasions both in general (e.g. in relation to subsequent Treaty revisions) and/or in specific issue-related resolutions on the need to have more efficient decision-making procedures (including voting requirements) in and for the EU.
