Este es el tipo de industria que Europa necesita

Video segment in Spanish and English.

La Federación Europea de Metalúrgicos ya ha trasladado a la Presidencia Española de la Unión Europea sus propuestas sobre el tipo de industria que necesita el viejo continente.

Hace unos días una delegación de los sindicatos europeos del metal, con CCOO a la cabeza, se reunió con el ministro de Industria para trasladarle sus demandas. El secretario general de la FEM, Peter Scherrer, las explica a INDUSTRIATV.

COP 15 - European metalworkers on the road from Copenhagen

For the European Metalworkers Federation climate change is a dangerous reality which demands a social response at international as well as European, national and regional/local and company levels. We believe that a drive towards new industrial strategies based on low carbon technologies and products can offer opportunities but also challenges for the future of industrial workplaces in Europe.

EFFAT's view on sustainable development

Sustainable development seeks to "meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” in the sense of balance between economic, social and environmental elements. Still, increasingly rapid global changes, from the melting of the icecaps to growing energy and resource demand, are challenging this objective.
