ETUC position on Mid-Term review/revision of the MFF 2014-2020
Adopted at the Executive Committee of 26-27 October 2016
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Brussels 20 Decembre 2016
ETUC assessment on the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA)
Statement approved at the Executive Committee 14-15 December 2016
Last week, the ETUC organised a final conference within the context of its project entitled “Industrial Regions and Climate Change policies: Trade Union’s perspectives”. The final conference concluded an 18-month project funded by the European Commission those focus is on organising the transition to a low-carbon economy in regions which still highly rely on carbon-intensive activities.
Following widespread consultation, and debate in the Executive Committee, the ETUC has drawn up its response to the current phase of the European Commission consultation on the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR), which was adopted on 6 September 2016.
The outcome of the Bratislava Summit falls well short of the expectations of the ETUC, and of the joint statement made by trade unions and civil society organisations ‘A new Europe for people, planet and prosperity for all’ https://www.etuc.org/press/new-europe-people-planet-and-prosperity-all#.V9_HZ_B97cs.
The Bratislava Declaration and Roadmap are as notable for what they do not say, as for the few vague things they do say.
ETUC Priorities for the current phase of the European Commission Consultation on the European Pillar of Social Rights, adopted at the ETUC Extraordinary Executive Committee Meeting on 6 September 2016
Working for a Better Deal for All Workers
This Position Paper sets out the ETUC’s observations and recommendations on the European Pillar of Social Rights at the halfway point of the consultation process and summarises the ETUC demands under seven priority areas. These are:
The ITUC and ETUC have strongly condemned the failed coup in Turkey and offered our deepest condolences to the victims. Unconstitutional attempts – especially involving military force – to seize power and overthrow democracy are unacceptable. We call for the investigation and eventual prosecution of those responsible to be conducted in full respect of the rule of law.

Towards the UK referendum
The European Union is facing grave challenges at the moment, and the ETUC would prefer to see the UK involved – together with other Member States – in resolving them, rather than turning towards national isolation.
