The ETUC welcomes the announced modification of the services directive
Yesterday afternoon, the Commission President Barroso said: "As the Directive was written, it would not have been successful .... That is the reason why the Commission unanimously accepted to make some changes".
ETUC General Secretary John Monks said : “It is a good decision by the new Commission to rework the directive and we look forward to working with them on producing a new text which recognises workers and trade union concerns. The importance of services of general interests must be respected. This is a big step in the right direction for the European trade union movement who have campaigned tirelessly against the Bolkestein Directive.”
