Emilio Gabaglio calls on Danish Presidency to make progress in social domain

Brussels, 10/07/2002 (Agence Europe) - On the publication of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) Memorandum to the Danish Presidency, ETUC General Secretary Emilio Gabaglio recognises that concluding negotiations for enlargement at the Copenhagen Summit should be an absolute priority for this six month period, stressing in a declaration that it is important to take decisions in the domain of social policy. The ETUC Memorandum cites as examples the directive on temporary work, the action programme on health and safety at work, revising the directive on European works councils and the need to include social aspects in rules governing takeover bids. Emilio Gabaglio adds that the Danish Presidency has to promote the application of decision from the Seville Summit on asylum and immigration, not simply addressing illegal immigration but also favouring the social integration of asylum seekers and legal immigrants in a spirit of solidarity.
