2 Social security organisation on European level European Social Insurance Platform (ESIP)
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. ESIPs mission
- To preserve high-profile social security for Europe
- To reinforce solidarity-based social insurance systems
- To maintain European social protection quality
ESIP represents
- A platform for transnational dialogue between national social security institutions in
Europe
- A strategic network for developing common positions to influence the European
decision-making process
- A consultation forum for the European institutions and other multinational bodies
active in the field of social security
European Network of Agricultural Social Protection Systems (ENASP)
The social protection for rural population of Europe In Europe, rural populations have specific needs: the nature of the economic activities, agriculture's restructurings, the central place of agricultural families... Six countries have chosen to give them autonomous social protection systems in order to answer these needs. They deal with the whole spectrum of social security: health, pensions, workplace accidents and occupational illnesses, family and/or services. In order to be as close as possible to people, their action is based on a dense territorial network. Mixing proximity and coherence, national orientations and local context, these systems have demonstrated their adaptability and experience. Their ambition is to constantly adapt their missions to rural mutations, staying true to their values: equity, quality, social justice,

autonomy, social democracy and defense of agricultural employment. Moreover the Single Market and various Treaties are making, and will continue to make, the European Union an indispensable level for coordination with regard to social issues. These latest advances are bringing about the implementation of trans-national cooperation between the different social protection schemes. Simultaneously, the Common Agricultural Policy and the community cohesion policy mean that specific farming and rural factors must be raised to the European level, to defend their requirements and values. The combination of these tendencies has therefore led the six autonomous agricultural social protection systems of the EU to join their forces through ENASP.

3 Social security organisation on global level International social security association (ISSA)
Promoting and Developing Social Security Worldwide The International Social Security Association is the principal international institution bringing together social security agencies and organizations. The ISSA’s aim is to promote dynamic social security as the social dimension in a globalizing world by supporting excellence in social security administration. Founded in 1927, the ISSA has its headquarters at the International Labour Office, in Geneva. The ISSA provides access to information, expert advice, business standards, practical guidelines and platforms for members to build and promote dynamic social security systems
- worldwide. The vision of dynamic social security provides a framework for the ISSA's action.
Dynamic social security refers to social security systems that are accessible, sustainable, adequate, socially inclusive and economically productive, and that are based on performing, well-governed, proactive and innovative social security institutions. In line with the nature of the ISSA as an association of social security institutions, the vision of promoting dynamic social security ties social security improvements to the capacities and performance of these institutions.
ISSA Agricultural prevention section
Objectives Half of the world's labour force is employed in agriculture and an estimated 1.3 billion workers are engaged in agricultural production worldwide. The share of the agricultural labour force in the total economically active population is under 10 per cent in developed countries and accounts for 59 per cent of workers in the less developed regions. Agriculture is one of the most hazardous sectors in both developing and industrialized
- countries. It is ranked as one of the three most hazardous industries together with mining
and construction. According to ILO estimates of about 330.000 fatal workplace accidents worldwide, there were some 170.000 casualties among agricultural workers. Ensuring safety and health at the workplace is a humanitarian and economic principle. Founded in 1969, the International Section of the ISSA on Prevention in Agriculture implements accident prevention for all those employed in agriculture and forestry (including special cultures).

The objectives of the Section are to:
- promote the exchange of information between the authorities engaged in prevention
in agriculture and forestry;
- rganize technical meetings in the form of symposium or round table conferences as
well as technical commissions and working groups;
- carry out investigations and studies;
- develop programs for education and publicity;
- produce and publish complex technical solutions for practical results;
- initiate cross-sectoral prevention measures in co-operation with other Sections.
