Ms Antje Gerstein (Employer member, Germany):
The Employers-driven topics in the report are three: The environment for creating entreprises, the role of different actors and the role of the ILO.
Regarding the first issue 17 pillars are defined in the report which go from Property Rights protection to the rule of law. They are understood as a bundle and not a choose and pick list.
Concerning the seconf theme there were some controversies on the role of trade for sustainable enterprises; In her view the report is too protectionist and goes against the results of a recent study published by the ILO and WTO jointly. The ILo should try to enhance its role also in infor,al sectors of the economy.
Ms Cecilia Brighi (Worker member, Italy):
The ILO can and should trends such as rising income inequalities, declining average wages, undecent working conditions. Labor standards should be included in Competition rules.
