In May 2009, IVEA became a member the European Federation of Education Employers (EFEE), established to represent the interests of education employers at European level.
To date, membership includes organisations from eighteen countries, representing around 70% of the EU's population, who all employ the overwhelming majority of teaching personnel in their respective countries.
EFEE is now working closely with the European trade union federation for teachers, ETUCE, in which nearly all the Irish education trade unions participate. EFEE is also negotiating to join the European Centre of Employers and Enterprises providing Public Services (CEEP), which brings together enterprises and organisations from across Europe, public and private, at national, regional and local level, who are public employers or providers of services.
In practical terms, membership of CEEP will give EFEE, and thus IVEA, access to early information about cross-sectoral issues, such as the current and recent discussions on working time and parental leave. As a member of EFEE, therefore, IVEA will be at the forefront of developments and receiving information on policy and pivotal matters at a European level.
