The new joint project of the European social partners for sea fisheries (Europêche and ETF) has kicked off today in Amsterdam. Following a selection process, Europêche and ETF will count with the participation of specialists to develop a wide range of studies for a safer, healthier and more worker-friendly fisheries sector in Europe and worldwide. The action will focus on trade measures to combat forced labour, develop guidelines on recruitment of migrant fishers, develop a training programme for medical examination of fishers and update a mobile app to facilitate communication on fishing vessels (FisherySpeak).

El miércoles 10 de mayo, los interlocutores sociales europeos* sobre pesca marítima firmaron una resolución en la que invitaban a la Unión Europea (UE) a asumir su responsabilidad y poner fin a las prácticas de trabajo forzoso en aguas de la UE. Las investigaciones realizadas por la Federación Internacional de Trabajadores del Transporte (ITF) revelaron graves infracciones de los principios fundamentales en el trabajo y los derechos de protección social de los pescadores migrantes en una parte del sector pesquero de la UE. Los interlocutores sociales esperan que la UE garantice el cumplimiento por parte de los Estados miembros de sus obligaciones y adopte directrices para las inspecciones del Estado del pabellón y del Estado del puerto para prevenir tales prácticas.
