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.”
