‘’FES’’ SUPPORT TO JOINT SEMINARS OF MWBU ‘’NEZAVISNOST’’AND CMWTUS CONTINUED

EUROPEAN INTEGRATIONS AND TRADE UNION




Belgrade, December 28, 2007
Confirming its strategic commitment, the MWBU ‘’Nezavisnost’’, supported by ‘’Friedrich Ebert’’ Foundation, organized a Seminar for MWBU membership and women colleagues of CMWTUS from Vojvodina. This is a continuation of joint activities of Women’s Section of MWBU and CMWTUS. The treated topics reflected a lasting and long-term commitment of MWBU for EU. The explanation of EU history and origin, as well as the foundations on which the EU is based, have been presented in an illustrative way, especially highlighting the competences covered by the EU.

The participants were interested in the issues concerning the conditions and requirements for becoming a member of European ‘’Family’’. The steps toward European Union can be shorter, longer, faster or slower, but it is quite clear what is expected from candidate countries, and those countries are the ones that enable by joint efforts the integration into the EU through their activities and quality of work performed. A considerable time period was devoted to Institutions existing on the EU level, as well as to its competencies, especially reviewing the funds that candidate countries could use for financing the activities on the way to European Union. Mr. Robert Molnar of Serbia’s European Movement gave an expert and detailed lecture on all stated topics.

Ana Vujinov spoke about the EU policy focused on the equality of sexes and she presented her views of the occurrence and reasons that influenced the EU to assume special positions and views and elaborate statutory regulations associated with sex equality. The EU adopted 13 directives so far, pertaining to sex equality, since 1970 until today. In addition to other things, these directives enabled equal treating of men and women relative to: approach to jobs, trainings, promotions and working conditions, including equal pays and social security, as well as guaranteed rights to maternity leave.

It has been stressed that EU Institutions should monitor effectively the implementation of all policies decided on by the EU and to develop special supervision mechanisms.
