"Question 14 by Nikolaos Chountis ()
Having had recourse to the bailout mechanism, Greece, Spain and Portugal have come under heavy pressure from the Commission and the IMF to make major changes to industrial relations and collective bargaining procedures under the terms of the respective ‘Memorandums’, thereby overturning national guarantees for workers.
For example, in the case of Greece, the Memorandum stipulates the following: ‘The government shall ensure that company-level agreements take precedence over sectoral agreements, which, in turn, take precedence over occupational agreements. The government shall remove the provision that allows the Ministry of Labour to extend all sectoral agreements to those not represented in negotiations’.
Furthermore, under Article 156 TFEU, matters relating to collective bargaining are governed by the principle of subsidiarity. In view of this: Is the Commission aware that this approach not only is creating a vicious circle of pay cuts and erosion of workers’ rights but also runs counter to the Treaties, which the Commission is required to respect?"@en1
