Protesting

dockers threw missiles at police and the parliament building

 

 

 

Police

in Strasbourg have used tear gas and water cannon to disperse dock workers

who marched to the European Parliament in a mass protest.

Protesters threw firecrackers, stones and metal missiles,

smashing windows and causing " considerable damage " .

The dockers, from across the EU, had converged on Strasbourg to protest at

controversial proposals to open up port services to greater competition.
