116th Meeting of the EMF Executive Committee Brussels, 23rd & 24th November 2011
The EMF held the 116th meeting of its Executive Committee - an event of key importance to the European Metalworkers' Federation because crucial issues linked to the planned creation of a new organisation were debated. Results from the Joint Working Group composed of delegates of the three industry federations (EMF-EMCEF-ETUF:TCL) seeking to form one single enlarged federation next year were presented and discussed as well as the draft statutes of the new organisation.
