The discussion is about how actively laid-off workers in early retirement should seek a new job. During renewed negotiations between the social partners and the government it became clear that the tabled modifications proposed by the government were critically received by the trade union negotiators as these proposals will water down the deal that was reached in the so-called Group of Ten. Trade union confederation ABVV\u002FFGTB rejected the proposals as these do not respect the social pact that was agreed in the Group of Ten (see our December Newsletter).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fderedactie.be\u002Fcm\u002Fvrtnieuws.english\u002FNews\u002F1.2287262\">http:\u002F\u002Fderedactie.be\u002Fcm\u002Fvrtnieuws.english\u002FNews\u002F1.2287262\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dutch: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.demorgen.be\u002Fbinnenland\u002Fbrugpensioen-abvv-wijst-voorstel-regering-af-a2245626\u002F\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.demorgen.be\u002Fbinnenland\u002Fbrugpensioen-abvv-wijst-voorstel-regering-af ... \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">French: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.rtbf.be\u002Finfo\u002Fbelgique\u002Fdetail_accord-sur-les-prepensions-la-tension-monde?id=8926167\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.rtbf.be\u002Finfo\u002Fbelgique\u002Fdetail_accord-sur-les-prepensions-la-tension ... \u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
