The changes in collectively agreed pay increases in real terms were considerably lower in 2011 compared to 2010, with most countries presenting negative figures. According to the report Norway experienced the highest nominal collectively agreed pay increase (4.3%), followed by Slovakia (3.7%) and the Czech Republic (2.9%). Though the agreed increases in Austria, the Netherlands, Norway, Slovakia and Spain were higher in 2011 than in 2010, workers in Belgium, Germany and the UK did not see any considerable change year on year. The report also focuses on collectively agreed pay increases in three sectors, manufacturing (chemicals), services (retail) and the public sector (civil service), respectively. Finally it is noted that there were changes to the levels of statutory minimum wage in 15 of the 20 countries with such provision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.eurofound.europa.eu\u002Fpress\u002Freleases\u002F2012\u002F120919.htm?utm_source=website_bluebox&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=payupdate2012\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.eurofound.europa.eu\u002Fpress\u002Freleases\u002F2012\u002F120919.htm ... \u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Ci>Focus\u003C\u002Fi>\u003C\u002Fb> on the Pay developments 2011 report: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.eurofound.europa.eu\u002Fdocs\u002Feiro\u002Ftn1204012s\u002Ftn1204012s.pdf\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.eurofound.europa.eu\u002Fdocs\u002Feiro ... \u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
