GRTU officials have, during the past week, held introductory meetings with the newly elected MEPs Dr Therese Comodini Cachia and Dr Miriam Dalli.

The GRTU said that it was very active in the run up to the European Parliament elections and had emphasised the importance of MEPs working close to social partners to help them make informed decisions.

The meetings with Dr Dalli and Dr Comodini Cachia were the first introductory meeting held so far. “The meetings where both very positive, both MEPs showed great interest to work with GRTU and stated they would be favourable to opportunities to carry out joint consultation meetings for members,” the GRTU said.

The MEPs outlined to GRTU which committees they are likely to be sitting on, which still need to be confirmed. GRTU explained the variety of business sectors it represents and how it works. It also gave an overview of the issues we are currently dealing and how these relate to the EU.

GRTU said that it “emphasised that we regard our MEPs with high esteem and we see them as a very valuable medium to get our message across and safeguard the interest of our members. On the one hand GRTU communicates Europe to its members and on the other hand it communicates the needs of its members to Europe, and MEPs could be of great assistance in doing this.”

“It was agreed that bi-laterally GRTU and both MEPs will keep a constant communication flow and would be meeting at regular intervals,” the GRTU concluded.
