We present our vision for Fair Transport to the EFTA countries

News

A few weeks in advance of our Fair Transport action week, we continue to talk to European policymakers, presenting our positive vision for the transport sector. As the ETF is a pan-European trade union federation, we also meet with representatives and officials of non-EU countries.

On 5 March, ETF General Secretary Eduardo Chagas attended a meeting of the Working Group on Transport of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), an intergovernmental organisation of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. He presented our Fair Transport campaign to the EFTA Working Group that is responsible for the incorporation of acts into the European Economic Area Agreement and their national implementation. Our message was well received and a lively exchange developed on ongoing dossiers in the road, maritime and civil aviation sectors.
