We will take all possible measures to seek protection of our interests in the employer field



 
As you are already aware, on 19 January 2012, mainly with the votes of the MPs from the Parliamentary Group of GERB and independent MPs, the presidential veto on the amendments to the Labour Code, adopted in December 2011 regulating the new criteria for representativeness of the national employers’ organizations, was rejected.
The adopted amendments introduce a restriction that organizations engaged in activities assigned to them by law or some enactment cannot be recognized as nationally representative. On the basis of public private partnership the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) has earned the trust (including of the International Chamber of Commerce /ICC/) to provide certain specific services, which are provided by other organizations of employers both in Europe, and in America. 
The legal restriction would deny not only BCCI, but possibly also other large organizations of employers, the possibility to be employers’ organizations representative on the national level, and to be members of the National Council for Tripartite Cooperation respectively.
The restrictive criterion in question has no analogue in European and international legislation and practice and is unconstitutional – therefore, it is doomed and is sooner or later bound to be revoked or amended to comply with international standards.
This discriminatory in its nature act targeted at BCCI is the best proof of its unfailing position in defense of its members’ interests. As in other cases in its 116-year history, BCCI will overcome these temporary restrictions to part of its activities, but will not deviate from its goal to continue to protect the interests of its over 50 000 members. Whether this is liked or not, BCCI remains the largest employers’ organization, because it is and will remain an esteemed member of the International Organization of Employers, which is the only legitimate international representative of employers, and of the International Labour Organization. 
Faced with the alternative to give up either on services in favour of companies or on participation in the tripartite dialogue, the members of BCCI by resolution of the Executive Council quite logically gave priority to the servicing of companies, because this is BCCI’s mission and the meaning of its existence. We will also take all possible actions to seek protection of our interests in the employer sphere, of which, like before, we will duly inform you. 
We do not need to receive powers of attorney, introduced with the latest amendments, in order to represent and defend the interests of our members. The required powers of attorney are unconstitutional and may lead to unpredictable consequences for the companies which have granted them. 
With this I turn to you – representatives of the members of BCCI, to confirm our commitment to your interests and future. Our future work will be related to your trust, for which we thank you and on which we will continue to rely in the future.
