Regarding negotiating labour policy, the Minister of Labour lays down the foundation for the legislation. The Federal Government drafts legislation and invites employer's organisations and experts to make comments. There would be some kind of agreement amongst stakeholders prior to passing the legislation. The employer's organisations convene informal meetings to identify challenges in the legislation drafted. In the legislative process, the employer's organisation has no effective power to negotiate, government decides but they can influence implementation of the legislation. In Germany there is no structure similar to NEDLAC. However, the Board of Governors (employers and trade unions) needs to get consensus, particularly on Public Employment Services issues. Within the Public Employment Services there are local public employment agencies responsible for the implementation of legislation.
