According to the approved DANUBE FAB implementation plan, it was necessary to create a harmonized policy and procedures for human resources management, taking into account, among others, the social impact of the FAB establishment.

Social impact assessment includes processes of analyzing, monitoring and managing the intended and unintended social consequences, both positive and negative, of planed interventions (policies, programmes, plans) and social change processes invoked by those interventions, aiming to bring about a more sustainable human environment.

Therefore, the implementation of a social dialog with the staff representative bodies in the two ANSPs is essential for the successful implementation of the DANUBE FAB.

One of the ways to ensure proper attention to social issues arising from the DANUBE FAB Project implementation and to promote social dialogue is the process of consultation, a formal process performed within the framework of the Social Consultation Forum.
