Report from the high level conference
The ETUC gathered the European industry federations in the metal, chemical, transport and food sectors this morning for a discussion on low carbon industrial policies.
John Monks, ETUC General Secretary, introduced the seminar by encouraging the participants to think back one hundred years in time to when the world had few territories without European influence. The audiences could recall a few such territories Japan, Korea, Iran and Egypt.
