This morning saw the commencement of the tripartite coordination committee. With the financial crisis as a key backdrop, this appointment is eagerly awaited, however the greater debate is scheduled for May 4, the day of declaration of state to the nation.

For the 2010 edition, the items on the agenda are employment, competitiveness and the fiscal deficit, and according Jean-Claude Junckerr "rebuild the paradise."

To assess whether the tripartite coordination always meets the needs of the 'Luxembourg social model', it should reconsider the starting point of the concept 35 years ago.

The establishment of the tripartite coordination was born during the coalition government RFP LSAP- at the close of legislative elections in May, 1974.
