Discussed during the meeting were glass imports, protection for the industry following the economic difficulties in the Middle East and high-standard glass usage.

Also pointing out that the Specialized Vocational Training Centers (UMEM) Project has been created to offset companies’ employment costs and that many companies complaining about the costs of employment aren’t aware of it.

Recycling in the glass sector was also discussed.
