ETUC Executive Committee reaffirms its vigilance regarding the evolution of the Services Directive
The Executive Committee of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), which met on 14 and 15 March, assessed the positive impact of the Euro-demonstration on the draft Services Directive on 14 February. The European trade unions believe that the compromise agreed by the European Parliament must be the foundation for future decisions on the issue.
During the Competitiveness Council on 13 March, some of the 25 Member States took the view that the European Parliament’s compromise goes too far, and reduces the ambitions of the original proposal.
"The compromise achieved by the European Parliament is currently in the hands of the Commission and the Council,” declared John Monks, ETUC General Secretary. “We remain very watchful on the evolution of this text and we will take care to ensure that the European Parliament’s proposal is not undermined in substance.”
