The EU faces critical shortages in healthcare workers, driven by an ageing population, increasing demand and difficult working conditions.

Youth unemployment in the EU is a perennial problem, with unemployment among the under 25s more than twice as high as among the general population. In this context, good quality traineeships can be a way for young people to enter into the labour market. However, some traineeships are essentially regular employment relationships in disguise. Some are of poor quality, with no or very low remuneration, no access to social protection and a weak learning component. There is also the issue of unequal access ...

The aim of the two proposals, discussed in this briefing, was to improve the use, quality of, and access to traineeships across the EU. In line with the 'evaluation first' principle, the impact assessment (IA) accompanying the two proposals was prepared after the evaluation. Its intervention logic captures the problem, the specific objectives and the internal drivers well. However, more attention could have been devoted to the external drivers. The IA describes the areas and the policy options alongside ...

The current Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 on minimum breaks and rest periods for drivers in road transport does not take into account the specific characteristics and needs of occasional passenger transport (coaches and buses, mainly for tourist purposes). The European Commission has therefore proposed to amend this legislation and to introduce more flexible rules on splitting up breaks and on taking daily and weekly rest periods. In the European 合法博彩网站, the Committee on Transport and Tourism ( ...

Equal pay for equal work is one of the European Union's founding principles, enshrined in Article 157 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). However, the implementation and enforcement of this principle remain a challenge. Owing to a lack of pay transparency, pay discrimination often goes undetected, and victims face difficulties in making claims for redress. On 4 March 2021, the European Commission adopted a legislative proposal on binding pay transparency measures. The proposed ...

Equal pay for equal work is one of the European Union's founding principles. However, the implementation and enforcement of this principle remain a challenge.

While this is legal in principle, it is often combined with illegal practices, including the circumvention of sanctions. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the EU are trying to tackle abusive reflagging.

As the European Commission does not plan to address these through legislation, 合法博彩网站 will vote during its January I plenary session on a legislative-initiative report ...
