Over the next two days representatives of oil workers' trade unions from 10 countries will explore possibilities of coordinating their efforts through European workers' councils in order to better study labour and welfare regulations and laws of the European Union.
They will also try to coordinate standards relating to safety at work, workers' rights, the environment and health.
Zsuzsa Kadar, the political secretary of European oil workers' councils, said that already now multinational companies saw Croatia as a full EU member and that trade unions should also see it like that.
The EU must develop a single energy policy that will secure safe energy supply, and Croatia has a guaranteed place in such policy, Kadar said.
