Mission & Goals
Ceemet's mission is to represent, promote and defend the interests of the metal, engineering and technology-based (MET) industries with all relevant EU stakeholders in matters primarily related to employment and social affairs as well as industrial and trade policy. Ceemet aims to : - show that our members are part of the answer to the global challenges of the 21st century and an attractive industry; - ensure the availability of a skilled and motivated workforce. - promote competitiveness of industry and social innovation; - support evidence-based regulation to ensure adherence to the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, particularly for SMEs. Ceemet Members are national employers' organisations in 20 countries, responsible for representing the social policy and industrial relations' interests of the metal companies in the country concerned, and, where so existing, for the conclusion of the collective agreements in the metal industry.
