The Bureau of the newly created EI Region, the European Trade Union Committee for Education (ETUCE), has convened in Brussels, Belgium.

Executive committee members, who are also representatives of EI affiliate members across Europe, used the one-day meeting to debate matters of strategic importance to the entire region. The packed agenda included discussion on the implementation of a new secretariat structure; EI’s sixth World Congress and what shape the European resolution to it would form, as well as reviewing the European Programme 2011-12.

The participants received updates from EI’s Europe Region Director, Martin RØhmer, on progress being made around social dialogue, and on upcoming working group meetings on higher education, in February, and quality education, in March 2011.
