The Stralsund round table

For the first time a round table with representatives from German and Polish Trade Union Confederations and Employers’ organisations from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and the Western Pomeranian Voivodeship took place on 30 May 2011 in Stralsund. Among the themes discussed were differences between education systems and the comparability of data, and topics for the German-Polish Competence and Information Centre were agreed. The round table participants agreed a statement on future cooperation regarding the information centre and a labour market monitor.  All parties want an exchange of information to be able to learn from each others. The procedure will be a big step forward in naming labour market challenges in the region and in looking for common solutions.
