Annual growth survey 2019: debate with Commissioner Thyssen

11-12-2018 - 15:00

As the European Semester process is of key importance for the EMPL Committee, Commissioner Thyssen is invited to the EMPL Committee to present the Annual Growth Survey 2019 and the accompanying Draft Joint Employment Report. Both documents were published on 21 November, as part of the European Semester Autumn package. This exchange of views will be followed by the consideration of the draft annual report on European Semester for economic policy coordination: Employment and Social Aspects in the Annual Growth Survey 2019 (rapporteur Marian Harkin, ALDE).

Plenary vote: carcinogens

06-12-2018 - 15:04

Parliament has added eight substances to the list of carcinogens and mutagens used in places of work for which limit values are set. MEPs are especially concerned about diesel. They want to ensure European workers are better protected.

In 2017, MEPs set exposure limits on 11 additional carcinogens during the first revision of the 2004 directive to limit harmful substances in the workplace. On 10 December MEPs debate on even stricter rules to further eliminate and reduce carcinogens and mutagens in the workplace. They will vote on them the following day.

The new legislation will include exposure limit values for eight additional cancer-causing substances, whether inhaled or handled. These substances include diesel fumes and used engine oil. It will also include skin notations for these substances, which are used to warn against the potential health effects associated with skin penetration.

During the EMPL meeting on 3 December, the EMPL Members have adopted the draft report on European Social Fund +(Rapporteur V. Lope Fontagné, EPP/ES). The ESF is Europe's main tool for promoting employment and social inclusion.

The Employment Committee MEPs proposed strengthening the ESF+ funding in the EU 2021-27 long-term budget by approximately 19% compared to the European Commission's proposal (from approximately € 89,6 billion to approximately € 106,8 billion in 2018 prices), of which €105,7 billion is to be managed jointly by the EU and member states. Among the highlights in the adopted report are:

Increased funding for the European Social Fund Plus
EU youth and children to be among the main beneficiaries
Investments in innovative solutions in the fields of employment and health

The text was adopted with 38 votes to 3. Employment Committee MEPs now urge the Council to adopt a general approach and start negotiations as soon as possible.

During the EMPL meeting on 27 November in Brussels, the EMPL Members adopted the report of Maria Arena (S&D) on European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF). The EGF was set up to provide the Union with an instrument to demonstrate solidarity with, and give support to, workers made redundant as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns caused by globalisation and whose redundancies have a significant adverse impact on the regional or local economy. Employment MEPs adopted revision to European Globalisation Adjustment Fund including broader range of dismissal reasons, lower eligibility threshold and a name change. The European Fund for Transition (EFT) should help with a transition of workers dismissed because of globalisation, technological or environmental changes promoting alternative, quality employment. Employment committee MEPs gave overall support to the Commission proposal but amended the text to make the EFT more accessible and future oriented.
