Letter for the attention of Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission  Brussels, 5 April, 2016 Commission proposal on disclosure of income tax information by certain multinational corporations Dear President Juncker,

Brussels, 19 April 2016     JOINT STATEMENT FROM ETUC AND CLC The CETA: where we are at and what needs to be changed   When Canada and Europe set out to negotiate a free trade agreement a few years ago, there were high hopes that this exercise might lead to a new “gold standard” in this area: an agreement that would show it is possible to deepen trade links while maintaining and increasing social, labour and environmental standards.  

Brussels, 19 January 2016 ETUC letter of support to Philippe Martinez, General Secretary of CGT French Union  Dear Philippe, The ETUC is gravely concerned about the sentences handed down by the court of Amiens on 12 January for the eight former Goodyear workers. 24 months in prison, of which 9 months are mandatory, is unprecedented. It severely punishes workers who fought for nearly 7 years to save their jobs on their territory.

ETUC Economic Policy Committee Statement to the Macroeconomic dialogue at technical level Brussels, 19 January 2016   The ETUC Economic Policy Committee met in Brussels on 19 January 2016 in order to prepare the Macroeconomic dialogue technical meeting.

Statement from the ETUC Mobility, Migration and Inclusion Committee Stop discriminating against refugees on grounds of nationality! The ETUC has received information from informal and informal sources around the so-called ‘Balkan route’ of entry to the EU that since 19 November 2015, the states of FYROM Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia have been allowing only Syrians, Iraqis and Afghanis to enter their countries.

The ITUC and the ETUC wish to offer a contribution to the Valletta Summit through this joint statement. This contribution complements and integrates positions that the ITUC and ETUC have repeatedly issued for a rights-based approach to migration and asylum in Europe and worldwide.

Brussels, 05/12/2012 The ETUC Executive Committee, meeting on 5 December in Brussels, expressed their deep concern at recent developments related to the draft Egyptian constitution. According to the constitution the current authorities seek to impose, trade union pluralism will de facto be prohibited and the state will continue to exercice control on trade unions. The ETUF - that was the transmission belt of the Mubarak regime – would, if the constitution is adopted, continue to function as the transmission belt of the Morsi regime.

Brussels, 25/06/2011

Wroclaw, 16/09/2011 For a stronger Europe of sustainable growth and social cohesion 1. During summer 2011 the Eurozone came to the brink of collapse. Short term actions were urged by Governments, EU Institutions and the ECB united only in insisting on austerity programmes rather than progressing towards more comprehensive and long term socially-acceptable solutions.
