Zusammenfassung Platform work is an umbrella concept covering a heterogeneous group of economic activities completed through a
digital platform. As platform workers' rights are not enshrined in EU labour law, this increasingly leads to problems
related to various aspects of their work (working conditions, healthcare, unemployment, pensions) and human
development (education, training, recognition of skills). To remedy this situation, the European Commission has
submitted a proposal for a directive aimed at improving the working conditions of platform workers, clarifying their
employment status and supporting the sustainable growth of digital labour platforms in the EU. First edition. The 'EU
Legislation in Progress' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the legislative procedure.

Zusammenfassung Enormous natural gas resources have turned Qatar into one of the world's richest countries. The 11 610 km2 nation
currently has the fourth highest GDP per capita in the world. The absolute monarchy's estimated 340 000-350 000
citizens benefit from free education, free healthcare, virtually guaranteed – and well paid – employment, and pay
almost no taxes. However, the great majority of the emirate’s nearly 3 million inhabitants live in very different
conditions. Qatar has the highest ratio of migrants in the world: 85 % of its population are migrants and 94 % of its
workforce comes from abroad, mostly from south Asia and Africa. In contrast to the small percentage of expatriates
from the West and other Gulf States, Asian and African migrants live and work in harsh conditions. Around 1 million
are employed in construction, and 100 000 are domestic workers. In December 2010, FIFA, world football's governing
body, granted Qatar the right to host the 2022 World Cup, which is scheduled to take place from 21 November to 18
December. Expanding on an existing development programme enshrined in the Qatar National Vision 2030, the
country embarked on an extensive building programme to prepare for the World Cup, involving an estimated 1 million
migrant workers. However, these preparations placed the spotlight on Qatar’s poor treatment of migrant workers. In
response to international pressure, Qatar has introduced important legal changes to improve the situation of these
workers, which the EU has welcomed. However, according to human rights organisations, the country needs to take
further steps to stop abuses. Of particular concern is the kafala sponsorship system, which is widely used throughout
the six Gulf Cooperation Council States and gives disproportionate power to employers, leading to widespread abuse
of migrant workers’ rights. Even though Qatar has started to dismantle the kafala system, important elements remain in
place. Moreover, ensuring compliance with more favourable labour laws remains a challenge. Since 2008, the
European Parliament has adopted four resolutions addressing the situation of migrant workers in Qatar; it has called
on Qatar to end the 'deplorable situation' of migrant workers and prevent preparations for the 2022 World Cup from
being 'overshadowed by allegations of forced labour'.

Zusammenfassung This Briefing forms part of an EPRS series which offers a synthesis of the pre-legislative state-of-play and advance
consultation on a range of key European Commission priorities during the latter’s five-year term in office. It seeks to
summarise the state of affairs in the relevant policy field, examine how existing policy is working on the ground, and
identify best practice and ideas for the future on the part of governmental organisations at all levels of European
system of multilevel governance. An EPRS analysis of the positions of partner governmental organisations at EU,
national, regional and local levels suggests that they would like the following main considerations to be reflected in the
discussion on the working conditions of platform workers: The employment status of platform workers has to be
clarified. The binary system (employed or self-employed) is challenged by the specific characteristics of platform work
and bogus self-employment. To give some examples, Ireland classifies workers on the basis of a series of tests, while
Portugal enacts a legal presumption that transport sector platform workers are employees. Platform workers have the
right to be correctly informed. This can be facilitated by transparency, designated advisory services, information
campaigns and communication channels among workers. Platforms must protect privacy, share information and data
with relevant (local) authorities, while artificial intelligence-based algorithms should be controlled by a human
approach. Local and regional authorities are witnessing the negative social consequences of the limited rights of
platform workers. Social measures should cover the specific needs of these workers in relation to sickness, accident,
unemployment, protection at work and pension benefits. More investment should be made in skills development and
relevant training for platform workers. Transferability and certification of competences would, for example, support
career development. The asymmetry between national legislation and issues faced locally and regionally can be
mitigated by complementary EU action and strong cooperation between the levels of governance. The role of cities in
particular should be acknowledged. Negotiation frameworks and charters, for example, can help all levels share good
practices and learn about the impact of the measures taken.

Zusammenfassung This European added value assessment (EAVA) has been written with the aim of providing support to the ongoing
work on a European Parliament legislative-initiative report on legal migration policy and law (2020/2255(INI)). The
assessment reviews the key issues concerning legal migration in the status quo (with a focus on labour migration) and
discusses the reasons why the EU should take action. It then explores a selection of possible EU actions, that include
recognising migrants' qualifications, facilitating access to employment of migrants already in the EU, developing new
avenues for legal migration to the EU, tackling discrimination and promoting migrants' rights. The assessment finds
that all policy options could generate substantial benefits for workers and spillover benefits for the EU economy.
Moreover, as these policy options are complementary, they could be implemented together in order to enhance the
added value of EU action.

Zusammenfassung Attracting highly qualified immigrants to Europe has been one of the EU's key priorities for several years. However, up
until now the EU has not been as successful as other OECD countries. This demand for workers is expected to
increase due to the increasing shortage of certain skills and the aging of the EU's population. The proposed directive,
which would replace the 2009 Blue Card Directive, increases the attractiveness of the EU highly skilled migration
scheme by expanding its scope, lowering criteria for admission or expanding the rights of beneficiaries. On 15 June
2017, the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) adopted its report, and voted to open
interinstitutional negotiations. After the Council agreed its mandate, trilogue meetings started in September 2017, but
little progress was made before the end of the 2014-2019 parliamentary term. In October 2019, Parliament decided to
resume work on the file in the context of ‘unfinished business’ to be carried over to the new legislature. The European
Commission’s ‘New Pact on Migration and Asylum’, presented on 23 September 2020, stressed the need to finalise
the negotiations. On 17 May 2021, the Parliament and the Portuguese Presidency of the EU Council finally reached an
interim agreement on the revision of the directive. On 21 May, Member States’ ambassadors, in the Committee of
Permanent Representatives, endorsed the agreement. And on 3 June, the LIBE committee also endorsed the
agreement reached with the Council. Parliament is expected to vote on adopting the agreed text during the September
2021 plenary session. Third edition of a briefing originally drafted by Martina Prpic. The 'EU Legislation in Progress'
briefings are updated at key stages throughout the legislative procedure.

Zusammenfassung This briefing finds that the European Commission's impact assessment (IA), which accompanies the directive proposal
on adequate minimum wages, is based on sound data and presents a sufficiently broad range of policy options. It
would have been useful if the measures concerning collective bargaining and adequacy of minimum wages had been
explained more thoroughly in relation to the chosen legal basis. The problem description would have benefited of using
more information from the extensive annexes. It would have clarified the text if the IA had provided the comparative
analysis and selection of the preferred option separately for both minimum wage setting systems (collective
agreements and legal provisions).

Zusammenfassung Despite significant progress for some social groups in the area of work-life balance, there has been a general trend of
decline since 2011, and progress amongst Member States has been uneven. This proposed directive (complemented
with non-legislative measures) should lead to the repeal of the existing Framework Agreement on Parental Leave,
made binding by Council Directive 2010/18/EU (the Parental Leave Directive). The new directive contains proposals
for paternity, parental and carers' leave. Stakeholders have been divided over the level of ambition of the proposed
measures. Trilogue negotiations started in September 2018, and a provisional agreement among the three institutions
was reached after the sixth trilogue meeting, in January 2019. The provisional agreement is less ambitious than the
original Commission proposal and the Parliament’s position, which had, in some ways, gone further than the
Commission. The text was approved by the Parliament’s Employment and Social Affairs Committee in February voted
in plenary in April and adopted by the Council in June 2019. Member States have to transpose most of its provisions
into national law by August 2022. Fourth edition. The 'EU Legislation in Progress' briefings are updated at key stages
throughout the legislative procedure.

Zusammenfassung From 11 April to 18 May 2019, 900 million Indians are invited to take part in the world's biggest democratic event: the
election of the 543 members of the Lok Sabha (lower chamber). Voting will be held across the country in seven phases
and the result will be declared on 23 May. In 2014 the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) obtained the
absolute majority in India's Lok Sabha, and Narendra Modi became prime minister. Enjoying a strong and undisputed
mandate, Modi has generated expectations of unleashing the country's economic potential and has adopted many
flagship initiatives in a bid to change the country. In the last five years, India has overtaken China as the fastest
growing economy, becoming the world's sixth biggest economy and a space power. Doing business in the country has
become easier. Poverty has been reduced. The government succeeded in introducing major fiscal unification reform
and a new law on bankruptcy. It failed, however to create the necessary stock of jobs for young people or to promote
long-awaited labour reforms. The situation for farmers has worsened, and an overnight demonetisation hindered
progress among small businesses and rural communities, while failing to bring real advances in the fight against
corruption. State banks hold large stocks of bad loans and the government has increased pressure on the central bank
and on its independence. Hindu nationalism and religious intolerance, pressure on freedom of expression, possible
state intrusion into privacy, citizenship issues and other topics have been matters for concern in the area of human
rights, although the country remains a robust democracy governed by the rule of law. Modi has increased the country's
presence in the global arena, although the framework of India's relations with the major powers has not changed.
Following two summits in 2016 and 2017, the EU and India have embarked on a road towards cooperation on non-
trade issues. Trade has meanwhile stagnated and little progress has been made in negotiations on a trade and
investment agreement.

Zusammenfassung Posting of workers plays an important role in the internal market, particularly in the cross-border provision of services.
While the number of posted workers continues to increase significantly, problems such as unfair practices and unequal
remuneration persist. In addition, the correct balance between the freedom to provide cross-border services and the
social rights of workers is needed, and moreover, needs to be adapted to today's labour market situation. The targeted
revision of the Posting of Workers Directive (96/71/EC) proposed by the Commission intended to bring changes in
three main areas: the remuneration of posted workers (making it equal to that of local workers, even when
subcontracting), more coherent rules on temporary agency workers, as well as long-term posting. The agreement
reached in trilogue negotiations states that long-term posting (with labour law provisions of the host country to be
applied) starts after 12 months (with a possible extension of six months). The overall amount of remuneration received
by a posted worker must meet the level of remuneration in the host Member State (without the reimbursement of the
worker's expenses) which must be published on a single national website. Host Member States can accord to posted
workers the coverage of representative collective agreements in all sectors, and they must protect them against
fraudulent posting. The Parliament approved the text on 29 May 2018, the act was adopted by the Council on 21 June
2018 and the final act was signed on 28 June 2018. Member States have until 30 July 2020 to transpose the measures
of the directive and apply them in their national law. Sixth edition. The ‘EU Legislation in Progress’ briefings are

Following a military coup in May 2014, the junta clamped down on political dissent. In 2017 a new constitution restored
some of the rights taken away in 2014, but the timing of elections remains uncertain and the military is likely to
maintain political influence even after handing over power to a civilian government. Other long-standing concerns
include abuses of migrant workers' labour rights and restrictions on freedom of expression.

Zusammenfassung For China, striking the right balance between using its abundant, cheap workforce as a competitive advantage and
protecting labour rights has been a major challenge. Although China has developed a considerable body of law
governing labour relations, there is still a huge gap between the labour rights on the statute books and those enjoyed
by workers in practice. Over-riding economic interests to attract foreign investors and to boost economic growth have
seriously undermined effective labour rights enforcement. China's vanishing demographic dividend may require a new
balance.

Zusammenfassung The European Union’s GSP+ scheme provides trade concessions to beneficiary countries and obliges them to ratify
and effectively implement key international conventions on human rights and labour rights. The sectoral gains of GSP+
have thus far been concentrated on exports of apparel, textiles and processed fish. Such sectors are often located in
Export Processing Zones (EPZs) where the governance of labour rights may differ from the rest of the country and fall
below international legal standards. This study examines the apparel sectors of Pakistan, Mongolia and Sri Lanka and
the processed fish sector of the Philippines. The importance of EPZs to exports under the GSP+ varies by country and
sector. Only in Pakistan are EPZs legally exempt from rights relating to freedom of association and collective
bargaining. But restrictions on these and other rights in practice remain widespread, and are not confined to EPZs.
Efforts to promote labour rights through the GSP+ should focus on key export sectors benefitting from the scheme and
consider EPZs
alongside other sites of the supply chain where exploited workers are based.

Schlagwortliste Arbeitsrecht | Besitzstand der Gemeinschaft | freier Dienstleistungsverkehr | Freizügigkeit der Arbeitnehmer |
Mitgliedstaat der EU | Sozialdumping
Zusammenfassung Although a recurring term in discussions related to working mobility, wages and the social security of workers, social
dumping has neither a generally accepted definition, nor easily definable limits. It is rather a set of practices on an
international, national or inter-corporate level, aimed at gaining an advantage over competitors, which could have
important negative consequences on economic processes and workers’ social security. Examples include actions
taken by actors from 'low wage' Member States to gain market advantage over actors from Member States with higher
pay and social standards; multinational companies from 'high wage' countries searching for ways to avoid legal
constraints by employing subcontractors from low-wage countries; and companies engaging cheaper and more
vulnerable temporary and agency workers, or relocating production to lower wage and less regulated locations. Social
dumping takes different forms in different sectors. Suppressing social dumping is a component of different regulations
on working mobility, undeclared work, and the status of transport workers. However, as the legislative competence of
the European Union is limited in the labour law domain, soft law and social dialogue are also used to tackle the
phenomenon. Several cases before the Court of Justice of the EU (such as the Viking and the Laval cases) show that
the applicable EU rules can only be effective if adequate implementation and enforcement by the Member States is
guaranteed. In September 2016, the European Parliament adopted an own-initiative resolution on social dumping,
calling for a number of actions to reinforce controls, close regulatory gaps, revise working conditions and promote
social convergence.

Zusammenfassung The EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), signed in October 2016, is currently at the
ratification stage. This agreement, concluded between like-minded trade partners, represents the new generation of
EU free trade agreements (FTAs), and contains chapters covering sustainable development. The inclusion by the EU
of sustainable development chapters in FTAs concluded with its partners plays a role in ensuring that trade and
investment liberalisation does not lead to a deterioration in environmental and labour conditions. In keeping with this
trade policy practice, developed over the years, trade-related sustainability provisions, including labour and
environmental considerations, are grouped in three chapters (Chapters 22 to 24) within CETA. CETA has only partially
exceeded the dialogue-only approach contained in earlier EU trade agreements and has maintained the exclusion of
trade and sustainable development (TSD) chapters from the scope of the state-to-state dispute settlement (SSDS)
procedure. It also maintains an ad hoc two-stage dispute resolution mechanism already found in the EU-South Korea
FTA. However, this mechanism does not include sanctions and focuses on mutually agreed solutions to problems. This
choice by the EU is due to the still strongly cooperative nature of the TSD chapters. On CETA please refer also to the
'International Agreements in Progress' briefing on the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with Canada
by Wilhelm Schöllmann.

internationaler Einwanderungssysteme, die darauf abzielen, beruflich qualifizierte Fachkräfte anzuwerben. Obwohl
nicht alle vorgestellten Optionen umsetzbar erscheinen, unternimmt die Kommission einen echten Versuch, Lösungen
für das Problem zu ermitteln. Die begrenzten Daten, über die die Kommission transparent ist, deuten darauf hin, dass
es möglicherweise von Vorteil wäre, die in der FA verwendeten quantitativen Nachweise, vor allem in Bezug auf die
wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen, weiter zu untersuchen. Schließlich wäre es nützlich gewesen, wenn in der FA eine

Zusammenfassung This Policy Department A note produced at request of the Employment and Social Affairs Committee provides a review
of integration policies at the national level. It identifies the challenges and opportunities that both immigrants and local
communities face. Various aspects of the Labour Market Integration and Social Inclusion of Refugees are elaborated
by the presentation of legal framework and practices from Turkey.
The note depicts that Turkey has taken significant steps on the regulations which aim to create an attractive economic
environment and to facilitate the application process of work permissions for foreigners as part of integration policies.
Furthermore, social integration policies are rather weak and started to develop since the recent immigration flow from
Syria. Even though there have been improvements in the integration policies, policy makers should focus on the
implementation of more stable and long term policies and practices.

Zusammenfassung This study, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Economic and Scientific Policy at the
request of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, provides an overview of the Posting of Workers Directive,
focussing on the current situation and major patterns regarding the posting of workers in the EU, major problems and
challenges, and how these patterns have translated political, as well as jurisdictive, debates and proposals to improve
the regulation of this specific form of employment and service provision. With the Commission’s view on the proposal
published on 8 March 2016, to revise the Directive, the study aims to provide the EMPL Committee with an
assessment of the proposal in light of both the key challenges addressed and the previous resolutions and requests
made by the European Parliament.

Zusammenfassung The European Commission proposes to amend Directive 2004/37/EC by expanding its scope and by including and/or
revising occupational limit exposure values for a number of cancer-causing chemical agents in the light of new
scientific data. According to the Commission, this would improve workers' health protection, increase the effectiveness
of the EU framework and promote clarity for economic operators. The initiative would proceed in two steps, with the
current proposal and another to follow later in the year. Broad discussions with scientists and the social partners fed
into the proposal, and it has received a broad welcome from stakeholders. Trade unions nonetheless regret that
certain substances are not included, and some on the employers' side oppose the limit value for respirable crystalline
silica. The legislative process is in its initial stages, with the EMPL Committee to consider the proposal in the coming
months.

Zusammenfassung Trotz umfassender EU-Rechtsvorschriften werden nicht notwendigerweise alle Stoffe, die das Risiko arbeitsbedingter
Krebserkrankungen erhöhen können, durch die bestehenden Rechtsakte berücksichtigt. In zahlreichen Studien wird
auf den kontinuierlichen Anstieg von Krebserkrankungen hingewiesen, die auf die Arbeitsbedingungen zurückzuführen
sind und einen besseren Schutz von Arbeitnehmern erfordern. Obwohl die Richtlinie 2007/34 den wichtigsten
Rechtsakt darstellt, im Rahmen dessen die Standards für den Schutz von Arbeitnehmern vor arbeitsbedingten
Krebserkrankungen festgelegt werden, wird in zahlreichen Studien und seitens Interessenträgern eine Erweiterung des
Anwendungsbereichs der Richtlinie um chemische Stoffe, die ursprünglich nicht durch die Richtlinie reguliert wurden,
gefordert, um somit die Exposition von Arbeitnehmern gegenüber diesen Stoffen zu reduzieren. Außerdem wurde die
Kommission mehrfach vom Parlament aufgefordert, die bestehenden Rechtsvorschriften über die Prävention
arbeitsbedingter Krebserkrankungen zu ändern und den Schutz von Arbeitnehmern vor arbeitsbedingten
Erkrankungen, einschließlich Krebs, zu erhöhen.

Zusammenfassung The sharing economy (also referred to as the collaborative economy, peer-to-peer economy or collaborative
consumption), is based on the sharing of human and physical resources like creation, production, distribution, trade
and consumption of goods and services. For consumers, it stresses the shift from ownership towards accessibility. The
sharing economy seems to be bringing about an alternative business model to the traditional corporate one. It is taking
advantage of new technologies, by using internet platforms as well as information and communications technology
applications, and leveraging communities or crowds to rent, share, swap, barter, trade, or sell access to products or
services. This note has been prepared for the European Youth Event, taking place in Strasbourg in May 2016. Please

Zusammenfassung The Trade Agreement between the EU and Peru and Colombia has been provisionally implemented since the middle
of 2013. However, based on limited secondary data available to date on its effects, this report shows that trade profiles
have not been substantially altered. EU exports to Latin America are dominated by pharmaceuticals, machinery and
vehicles, and have experienced very slight increases. Colombian exports to the EU have benefitted more than
Peruvian exports from improved access, but oil and minerals remain the top exports. Fruit, vegetables, flowers and
above all sugar cane and confectionaries have been the greatest beneficiaries of the tariff eliminations and reductions.
Despite this lack of substantial change, the institutional arrangements and sub-committees created by the Agreement
have been implemented. Civil society has also been involved in meetings of the Trade and Sustainability sub-
committee, but resource and capacity constraints preclude smaller organisations from full participation in the process.
Sadly, reports of the human rights situation in Colombia, in particular the plight of trade unionists, continue to be
negative. Although the Government has made progress in legislative terms, the full implementation of measures at the
local level remains incomplete and challenging.

Zusammenfassung The adoption of the Employment Equality Directive in 2000 extended the protection against discrimination provided
under EU law. By explicitly obliging the Member States to prohibit discrimination in employment on the grounds of
religion or belief, age, disability and sexual orientation, the general principles set out in the Treaties became more
effective, and some minimum standards are now common throughout Europe. At the same time, specific exceptions
with regard to all or only some of those grounds permit the continuation of certain measures that were already in place
in most countries, which has led to different national practices, especially with regard to age. Additional provisions on
horizontal issues such as access to justice and sanctions, dissemination of information and necessary dialogue, left
the details to be established by Member States according to their laws and customs. This analysis builds on the
available documents and expertise in order to facilitate the debate on the implementation of the Employment Equality
Directive to date and on how best to follow it up.

Zusammenfassung This 'Cost of Non-Europe' study examines the current economic, social and legal state of play regarding the sharing
economy in the European Union, and identifies the cost of the lack of further European action in this field. The
assessment of existing EU and national legislation confirms that there are still significant implementation gaps and
areas of poor economic performance. The subsequent examination of areas where it was believed that an economic
potential exists highlighted that substantial barriers remain, hindering the achievement of the goals set out in the
existing legislation. Moreover, some issues are not or are insufficiently addressed (e.g. status of workers employed by
sharing economy service providers). Consequently, more European action would be necessary to achieve the full
economic potential of the sharing economy. In doing so, policy-makers should seek to ensure an adequate balance
between creative freedom for business and the necessary regulatory protection. This research estimates the potential
economic gain linked with a better use of capacities (otherwise under-used) as a result of the sharing economy is
€572 billion in annual consumption across the EU-28. This figure should nevertheless be considered with caution;
substantial barriers prevent the full benefits from being realised, and could reduce the value of potential increased use
to up to €18 billion in the shorter-term and up to €134 billion in the medium and longer term, depending on the scale of
regulatory obstacles.
