ETUC Position on Internal Market Services Package
Adopted at the Executive Meeting of 13 and 14 June 2017
Introduction
On 10 January, the European Commission presented a new Services package, that includes proposals for the European Services e-card (composed of a regulation and directive), a Services Notification Procedure (directive), a Proportionality Test (directive) and guidance on reform recommendations for regulation in professional services (communication).
The ETUC position
As part of the follow-up to the ETUC Congress engagements towards the promotion of women within its membership and decision-making structures, in 2017 the ETUC carried out the tenth edition of its Annual Gender Equality Survey (previously known as the 8th March survey). The aim of this survey is to monitor the proportion of women in the European trade union movement, including in decision-making positions and bodies. The objective is to assess progress in reducing the representation and decision-making gap between women and men in trade unions.

THE ETUC ‘ROME DECLARATION’
Declaration adopted at the ETUC Mid-Term Conference in Rome on 29-31 May 2017.
It is ten years since the financial crisis of 2007-2008.
French presidential elections are crucial not only for France but for the whole of Europe.
France has always been at the heart of the European Union, and the risk of a French President who is opposed to the EU and who calls into question France’s membership of the Euro and the European Union, is very worrying. The European Trade Union Confederation supports the European integration and calls for a more just, social, inclusive and democratic Europe.
The ETUC stands firmly against social dumping and for a fair internal market
