The Board of Trade Associations of the Chamber of Commerce of Montenegro (PKCG) invited representatives of the Employers' Union to organize a meeting with members of the Board from wholesalers, retailers, representatives of shopping centers and small traders, before sending the Proposal for Amendments to the Law on Internal Trade to the parliamentary procedure.
The statement of the Board of the Trade Association of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Montenegro states that they are surprised by the proposal of representatives of the economy participating in the Social Council, which affirms a normative solution that is not in the interest of the economy and the Montenegrin economy as a whole.
"We invite representatives of the Employers' Union in the Social Council to organize a meeting tomorrow with members of the Board of Trade Associations from the ranks of wholesalers, retailers, representatives of shopping centers and small traders, before sending the Proposal for Amendments to the Law on Internal Trade into parliamentary procedure," the statement says.
The Committee believes that it is important to hear the views of traders, as the largest single branch of the economy.
"And we are ready to propose concrete solutions that greatly contribute to the principles of non-discrimination and equal market treatment of all companies in the field of trade," the statement said.
It is added that for employers, whose companies employ 20 employees, the principles of working on Sundays as offered in the solutions they have seen are not acceptable. "Because they are opposed to the principles of equality, freedom of enterprise and economic progress."
The Board of the Association of Economic Associations of Montenegro (PKCG) said that such solutions do not ensure protection and equal treatment of all workers, although they want to present themselves as such to employees and businessmen whose work they regulate.
"Because of all this, the Social Council does not have the support of the economy on this issue, and that is why we insist on opening a dialogue to find a just, sustainable and fair solution for Sunday work," the statement concludes.
