the EU commission submits Spain to the Law court EU in matter of harbour job
Under accusation the norms that they prohibit to the terminalisti to address to the free market in order to recruit personal
June 20, 2013
Today the EU commission has decided to submit Spain to the Law court EU with respect to the procedures for the assumption of the workers in the Spanish ports that have become law two years ago and that from some months they are in the viewfinder of Brussels ( on July 23, 2010 and 27 september 2012).
The Commission has remembered that currently the Spanish terminalisti are not authorized to address at the market in order to recruit personal and that the norms in vigor demand to these companies to participate financially to the capital of labor pool, the Sociedad de Gestión de los Estibadores Portuarios (SAGEP), that they are private companies that hire harbour workers and they put on them of the terminalisti. The terminalisti can resort to the free market in order to only assume labor (but for a turn) only if the offer of the SAGEP is inadequate or insufficient.
According to the Commission, the terminalisti of other Member States that wishes to operate in restrictive the Spanish ports would be discouraged making it because of these practical of job. The Commission has restated that the relative dispositions of the Treaty to the plant freedom are applied totally to the harbour activities.
