The High-level Mission report underlines the important role that can be played by the ILO to support the Government and the social partners in the development and implementation of relevant and appropriate reforms to the labour market and its institutions in conformity with ratified International Labour Standards. It further emphasizes the need for rapid support to bolster the labour relations system, promote collective bargaining and create a meaningful space for social dialogue which builds upon the traditions of the social partners and is aimed at finding mutually reinforcing solutions to the new challenges they face. The ILO stands ready to assist the Government of Greece in all the areas within its mandate.
