The European Commission welcomed the new social dialogue committee in the port sector launched on 19 June 2013 with port authorities, terminal operators, dockers and other port workers across the EU. 1.5 million workers are employed in European ports, with the same amount again employed indirectly across the 22 EU maritime Member States. This new committee will examine the challenges faced by the sector and help contribute to its long term success. Ports are not only engines of economic development and sources of prosperity, more cargo, cruise ships and ferries in our ports means also more jobs and new opportunities. |
