The Pan-European Regional Council (PERC) of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) was formally established at a Founding Assembly in Rome, Italy, on 19 March 2007, following a resolution adopted at the ITUC Founding Congress in November 2006 in Vienna.

The PERC brings together 90 national trade union centres affiliated to the ITUC, in 45 European countries, representing 85 million members. Under its constitution, ETUC General Secretary Luca Visentini also acts as General Secretary of the PERC, with Irakli Petriashvili, President of GTUC Georgia, elected as President.

The PERC works to promote the strategies, priorities and policies of the ITUC and for social development, the consolidation of democracy and respect for human and workers’ rights throughout the region.
