Steps to ensure factory safety encouraging

The Netherlands finds "encouraging" the steps taken by Bangladesh to ensure factory safety and workers’ rights after the worst-ever building collapse last year but feels a lot more needs to be done.
According to the foreign ministry, “the exact modalities for further cooperation” would be discussed during Ploumen’s scheduled Dhaka visit at the end of next month.
The Netherlands along with other countries is funding International Labour Organization (ILO) projects to improve factory safety and working conditions in the readymade garment sector along with other countries, according to a news agency.
Ploumen suggested that the European Union and Bangladesh should “work together to impress upon international companies, including the European ones, to adequately contribute to the compensation fund for the Rana Plaza victims”.
The EU is a major destination of Bangladeshi garments that enjoy duty-free market access.
