Thousands of dock workers met in Strasbourg on 16 January 2006 to protest against a European Union law to liberalise port services. Among those ports likely to be affected are the continent's two biggest ports, Rotterdam and Antwerp. The European Parliament is due to vote on the draft law on 18 January 2006.
