Coach and truck drivers, as well as union officials from Belgium, Denmark and Spain will attend the event, an opportunity for the press to get acquainted with their views on the future of the sector.
The ETF will equally reveal its campaign for a social road initiative to be launched on Friday 31 March 2017. One of the key moments of this campaign will be the European demonstration planned for 26 April 2017. These actions fully subscribe to the ETF constant plea for a Fair Transport in Europe.
