AK welcomes the efforts of the European Commission to institutionalize macroeconomic cooperation and supervision at European level, through which a looming systemic crisis should be recognized at an early stage.

From the point of view of employees, the introduction of the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) represents one of the most important innovations of the Treaty of Lisbon. The ECI has the potential to narrow the frequently diagnosed gap between the EU and its citizens.

The EU 2020 strategy follows the current Lisbon strategy, which according to the Commission has contributed to overcoming the current crisis. A bold claim that does not stand up to reality. Even before the outbreak of the worst financial and economic crisis, the EU had been far away from many Lisbon targets. The recession made the target date of 2010 completely unrealistic.

In Austria, thousands of small investors have lost their entire or a large part of their savings because of the financial crisis. These losses were also made possible by the fact that investors were not (or not adequately) informed about the high-risk character of the investments, even though the capital market prospectuses had listed all possible risks.

AK is very critical of bilateral free trade agreements as the benefit of such agreements is not obvious to the workforce. In particular with regard to the issues of investments, public procurement and services we are opposed to negotiations on a bilateral level. Furthermore, AK regards a sustainability chapter, which goes far beyond the previously discussed extend, as an essential part of a free trade agreement with Canada.

The Austrian Federal Chamber of Labour welcomes in principle the effort of the European Commission, to make an aspect of the currently mainly deregulated financial markets, namely the sale of alternative investment products, subject to regulation. Unfortunately, the result has not only turned out to be very minimalistic but was in parts even more watered down by the Amendment Applications of the Parliamentary rapporteur of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, Member of European Parliament (MEP) Jean-Paul Gauzès. This is true i.a. with regard to the sale of financial market products, where focus is set only on Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) resp. Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFM) located within the EU, whilst AIF resp. AIFM located in third countries are supposed not to be included in the Directive.

The first years of experience with Brussels I have shown that the Regulation essentially guarantees a well functioning European system of jurisdiction in civil and commercial matters. However, not least cases, which had to be decided by the European Court of Justice (ECJ), have made it obvious that the current Regulation has some weaknesses and gaps. The need for reform resulting from this is particularly urgent as above all those sections identify problem areas, in which the “weakest party” [should] be protected by rules of jurisdiction, which are more favourable to them than the general regulation”.

Based on the present Communication, the European Commission presents its vision for future of transport within the Union.

It is to be feared that the present programme will neither be able to fulfil the climate protection targets nor the requirements of the Lisbon Strategy.

The Commission recognizes correctly that the motor vehicle industry and its component suppliers currently find themselves in a very difficult situation. One must, however, also take the situation of motor vehicle dealers into account who are interested in transparent and foreseeable regulations. Not least, however, the requirements of the consumers must also be sufficiently considered. They too need legal certainty and blanket supply with warranty and other services.

A proposal on redrafting the Food Labelling Directive was introduced by the EU at the end of January 2008. The AK is sceptical.

Using the Communication on the Stockholm Programme, the EU Commission introduces a draft for a programme that should form the basis for the policy in the field of justice and internal affairs for the next five years.

Up to the point where the current financial crisis got the entire world fully in its grip, the European Commission had rather been of the opinion that it would be best for the market of private equity and hedge funds to rely on the rationality of well informed market participants. The now intended step of the European Commission, only to regulate the fund managers but not the funds themselves, does not go far enough in the AK's point of view.

The AK is very worried about the developments in the financial markets, which have a tremendous impact on the real economy and as a result on the labour force. The AK is therefore of the opinion that urgent regulatory measures are required, including the ban of certain products at European level, to come to grips with the economic crisis. The AK and the European Commission both believe that a comprehensive granting of aid can only build trust if the cause of the crisis is analysed and channelled properly. The communication is thereby a first approach, which, however, has to be implemented in combination with other measures (regulation of hedge funds, control of derivative trading, stricter requirements for granting aid).

The AK welcomes the inclusion of a separate sustainability chapter to promote the adherence to ILO Core Labour Standards. It is, however, thereby vital to insist on the explicit obligation to ratify, implement and effectively adhere to all eight ILO Core Labour Standards by the Central American States and the Andean States. To ensure that these minimum labour standards will be adhered to in a binding manner, the general dispute resolution mechanism should also apply to the sustainability chapter.

Securing employment by stabilising the macroeconomic demand must currently be the most important task of economic policy. Fiscal policy has to let the automatic stabilisers take full effect. Additional measures have to be brought in to stimulate both private consumption and investments. Budget consolidation must - while the crisis lasts - take a backseat.

In March 2008, the European Council invited the Member States to give their initial thoughts on the future of the Lisbon strategy for the period beyond 2010.

AK urgently warns that a model for merging different EU consumer protection provisions based on full harmonisation would substantially lower the level of consumer protection at national level. For example the draft directive would bring a dramatic change for the worse as regards unfair contract terms. The objective of strengthening EU consumer protection is unsatisfactorily met with the proposed directive, needed efforts to update EU consumer protection are too little in evidence.
