Which Trade Union Initiatives are needed?

Sustainable development cannot be realised without theinvolvement of workers and trade unions

negotiations on sustainable development must be developedwith the transnational companies in the tourism sector with aview that such negotiations yield positive results beyond theconfines of the European Union, particularly in relation to thepopulations of the destination countries of outgoing touristflows

Sustainable development must be the object of informationand consultation within European Works Councils
