[01] EU Commission president Juncker in Athens
European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker will visit Athens on
June 21.
Juncker will meet with Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos and Prime
Minister Alexis Tsipras. He will also be keynote speaker at the annual
meeting of the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV), at 19.30.
Moreover, the president of the European Commission will visit the Economic
and Social Committee to discuss with social partners.
[02] International committee of experts on labour issues starts meetings
in Athens
The international committee of experts on labour issues, set up jointly
by the institutions and the Labour Ministry, will meet on Tuesday with
representatives of the social partners and on Wednesday with employers'
organizations.
The meetings will focus on the minimum wage, collective labour agreements
and mass layoffs. The Greek side has rejected the possibility of
abolishing the two extra salaries in the private sector while the IMF
seems to insist on that.
The committee will make a resolution, likely in September, outlining the
way in which the institutional framework of labour relations in Greece
will be aligned with that of the European Union.
