CEPI has formally accepted to apply for a recognised Social Partner Dialogue in the European Paper Sector.

The move will help employers and unions work through the problems that the paper industry faces, according to Unite assistant general secretary Tony Burke.

A letter signed by CEPI and the European Mining Chemicals, Energy Federation (EMCEF) has now been sent to the European Commission, DG Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities.

Burke, who is a member of the Executive Committee of EMCEF, said: "This is a very positive step.

"We have a good relationship with CEPI and a formal social dialogue structure will benefit the European paper sector."

The first meeting of the new Paper Sector Social Dialogue is scheduled for April 2010.
