GRTU meets new MEPs
30 June 2014
GRTU's
top officials have this week met the newly elected MEPs Dr Therese Comodini
Cachia and Dr Miriam Dalli. GRTU was very active in the run up to the European
Parliament elections and had emphasized on the importance of MEPs working close
to social partners to help them make informed decisions.
GRTU took immediate
initiative to express its satisfaction with the group of MEPs and the meetings
with Dr Dalli and Dr Comodini Cachia are the first introductory meeting held so
far. The meetings where both very positive, both MEPs showed great interest to
work with GRTU and stated they would be favourable to opportunities to carry
out joint consultation meetings for members.
At
this stage it is still very early and while the MEPs outlined to GRTU which
committees they are likely to be sitting on, most still needs to be confirmed.
GRTU explained the variety of business sectors it represents and how it works.
It also gave an overview of the issues we are currently dealing and how these
relate to the EU. GRTU emphasized that we regard our MEPs with high esteem and
we see them as a very valuable medium to get our message across and safeguard
the interest of our members. On the one hand GRTU communicates Europe to its
members and on the other hand it communicates the needs of its members to
Europe and MEPs could be of great assistance in doing this.
It
was agreed that bi-laterally GRTU and both MEPs will keep a constant
communication flow and would be meeting at regular intervals.
