Following the criticism of the unions affiliated to the ICFTU of the lack of a workers' representation in the institutions of the EEC, the European Christian Trade Unions have followed suit. A resolution adopted at the recent 3rd annual conference of the Euroepan Trade unions affiliated to the Internationa Confederation of Christian Trade Unions urged, "a democratic Europe in which the worker's place is assured" and rejected "a Europe made up only of technocrats, cartels and capitalistic groups". On the other hand the resolution called for ¢1) effective Community action against cartels; (2) establishment of tri-partite committees to coordinate economic planning (workers, employers and the state); and a merger of the 3 existing Community Executives (EEC, Euratom and ECSC). Whilst the Christian unions are a long way from being socialist, these moves are encouraging for the process of the unific«tion of European workers' trade union movement.
