2003 21.55 THE HAGUE - the profession call centres FNV and CNV has
threatened the cabinet Thursday the consultation demolish if in august
appears that there will becomes extra economised on the social
security. ' bezuinigingen which fall down on the social
security provisions it consultation will torpedo and also the
credibility of minister De geus of social matter ', thus
fnv-voorzitter L. the Walloon. Cabinet and social partners
admitted frankly that them it are in fact nowhere concerning once,
except that the economy stands there belabberd for. Further than
the drawing up of an agenda for closer consultation they did not come
thus. ' the differences of conception concerning the cabinet
policy and the budget policy are large ', recognised premier
Balkenende. Cnv-voorzitter of Terpstra blamed ' benepen, an
economical ' elaboration to the cabinet. Especially the
interventions in the social security and the imminent disengaging of
remunerations and benefit separates cabinet and profession call
centres. Also the employers run hope against the extra
bezuinigingen. They fear charge weightings. Moreover they
disagree from the cabinet concerning leave couple regulations.
According to Vno-NCW-VOORZITTER J. Schraven are possible it
money improve are spent on the spaarloon. Also Mkb-Nederland
realise nothing ' still more ' leave rules. ' that a calamity
would be for the middle - and small company ', thus the kersverse
President L. Hermans van Mkb-Nederland. Furthermore he argued
increase of the pension age to 67 years. ' the care concerning
the economy is at everyone, however, real ', thus premier Balkenende
Thursday in a first response after the consultation with employers'
associations and trade unions. All people concerned realise the
seriousness of the development of the employment and competive
position of the Netherlands. With respect to the cabinet policy
still clear differences in the conceptions are. The premier made
in advance already clear that he expected that the conversation with
social partners a clear character of the drawing up of agendas.
The parties have agreed the coming time talk further concerning
pension, life course, youth unemployment, top incomes and improving
the productivity of businesses. That last thinks the social
partners and of stimulating the cabinet especially by investing in
knowledge, innovation and education. Fnv-voorzitter L. the
Walloon had been considerably disappointed after result. ' the
FNV disagrees basically from the cabinet how we must obtain the
economy from the slop.' It puts to the FNV especially that the
cabinet threatens the link between remunerations and benefits leave
separately if trade unionism would not cooperate sufficiently in
remuneration moderation. The Walloon and cnv-voorzitter
discharged D. Terpstra after the consultation with government and
employers a shot for the stem. If by the need to economise also
the social security provisions are further damaged, that ' torpedoes
the consultation '. It also the credibility of minister De geus
of social matter would damage, stalks the Walloon and Terpstra.
The only reason that the FNV the coming time nevertheless
continues talk with the cabinet, is according to the Walloon the
promise ' that there modifications in the cabinet policy possible to
be '. Balkenende explained that there what concerns the cabinet
' no talk is a book ' closed of if the subjects there on agreed
constructively further can be talked with social partners.
Cnv-voorman Terpstra its ring put firmly to want stick out as
also indeed the coming months appears that there at the cabinet space
is negotiate. ' then we have been prepared remunerations a
substantial moderate part.' Up to that point do not want go its
colleague of the FNV. According to the Walloon is it still too
asked about that talk. (c) DUTCH PRESS AGENCY
