TAP) - The Tunisian General Labour Union (UGTT), on Thursday, decided to hold an emergency steering committee meeting. This decision comes after a Spanish trade union leader was prevented from entering the Tunisian territory, according to a statement issued by the UGTT on Thursday.

The Tunisian authorities also informed the UGTT that they had also decided to deny a delegation from the International Trade Union Confederation entry to Tunisia.

The UGTT said that the ban on trade union delegations coming to Tunisia to take part in the workers' rally planned by the union for Saturday 4 March was unjustified and constituted 'an attack on the labour organisation and free trade union action.'
