UNIONIST SOLIDARITY FOR EUROPEAN SOCIAL MODEL IN SOUTH-EAST EUROPE




Sofia, March 11 2008
Accepting a new division of the EMF from Lisbon Congress, Metal Workers Trade Unions of South-East Europe, EMF members, used the Conference in Sofia to exchange information and experience, as well as to reach an agreement concerning future joint activities. Besides representatives of Metal Workers Trade Unions from the Region, the Conference was also attended by the EMF leadership, Secretary General, Peter Scherrer, Tony Jansen, former EMF president and Alicia Masievic. The host and one of the Chairmen was Vasil Yanachkov, EMF Vice-President. The holding of the Conference was enabled with the FES support and those present at the Conference were welcomed by Marc Meinardus, FES Director – Bulgaria.

Alicia Masievic presented the Questionnaire filled out by Metal Workers Trade Union representatives from South-East Europe. This Questionnaire is an attempt to obtain information on trade unions from South-East Europe through a standardized form, in order to monitor the most interesting trade union spheres of activity and use the information in homeland.

The participants also considered other current topics anticipated by the agenda, especially actualizing the Work Program for 2008, by stressing the preferences and strategies we would use. New opportunities were indicated for using financial support lines for implementing the programs agreed in Sofia for trade unions from South-East Europe. The conclusion was that the EMF and IMF coordination had to be enhanced, so that there wouldn’t be duplicating of programs being implemented.

Alicia Masievic spoke about current programs in the Region such as ’’TAIEX’’, ’’ILO ITC’’ program. This subject arouse great interest of participants in the Conference, and the Report from the Seminar, held in Istanbul in January, was presented too.

The need for improved informing resulted in an agreement concerning updating the web site of trade unions from South-East Europe within the EMF.
