Trade Council Finances

The social unrest among the workers of Customs is increased by the lack of a structured social dialogue.

So, in this respect, the Trade Council needs to be permanently vigilant. We have explained our grievances in a personal conversation with the competent Commissioner.

Much is also happening in other fields in the sector of finances: - there is more and more pressure for the harmonization of certain taxes in several member states.

As regards VAT, the advance is already considerable, but what will be the effects on employment, both within the administration itself and in the private sector ? - in order to keep pace with the rapid evolution in the world of finances, we believe that our suggestion to create a European School of Finances is a possible solution. We try to convince the authorities constantly of the correctness of this: training and retraining are indeed essential for the Staffs of Finances.
