01/12/2014 (Agence Europe) - Investments: ETUC's sights on sources of jobs. Energy, transport, mobile telephones and nanotechnology are sectors in which investments produce the greatest effects, according to a study carried out by the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and the consultancy firm Syndex Europe. Sources of jobs which cannot be delocalised also exist in the sectors of energy efficiency and services for the elderly. ETUC takes the view that between €20 and €40 billion under the Connecting Europe Facility could be used to fund the European Commission's investment plan in the form of grants or guarantees. The same applies for a proportion of the financial transaction tax (FTT) anticipated for 2016. (MB)
