In its intervention, Professor Stangos provided testimony on the Charter’s guarantee of labour rights and in particular on the several collective complaints brought before the Committee concerning labour market reform in Greece. Among the invitees were also Declan Costello, Chief Negotiator, DG ECFIN, European Commission, Heinz Koller, ILO Regional Director for Europe and Central Asia and Yannis Panagopolous, President of the General Confederation of Greek Workers (GSEE).
