Commenting on today’s EU Summit, Bernadette Ségol, General Secretary of the European Trade Union Confederation, said “The EU should be focused on policies not personalities. They have agreed today that unemployment is at unacceptable levels and that poverty is a major concern. I am looking forward to finding out what they will do about it. If the emphasis remains, as it has up to now, on cutting Government spending and deregulation, then Europe’s 26 million unemployed will remain jobless, and nothing will change.”
