Ports and docks trade unions in all member states have suffered an accelerated process of liberalisation and privatisation. This is also the only ETF section with no institutionally recognised sectoral social dialogue. However,the ETF unions' successful fight against the Proposal for a Directive on Market Access to Port Services, also known as “Port Package I”, has helped build a truly motivated, mobilised and strong Ports and Docks Section. Since October 2004, when the Commission adopted a new proposal on access to port services similar to that democratically rejected by the European Parliament less than a year earlier, the Section has campaigned against the new proposal as unnecessary, unbalanced, provocative and arbitrary - as it was drafted without any proper consultation with the industry.
