Brussels, 03/12/2013 (Agence Europe) - The European Commission is sounding out companies active in the transport and logistics sector and other stakeholders on the employment and working conditions in this sector. On 29 November, it opened a public consultation to assess the adequacy of the supply of labour and skills to the sector. It seeks to evaluate what possible skills are lacking and the attractiveness of the sector, in an effort to analyse what can be done at a European level to respond to possible shortages. The results of the public consultation will feed into a study currently being commissioned by DG Move and the Joint Research Centre. The consultation is open until 31 January 2040. (MD/transl.fl)
