Comissão do Emprego e dos Assuntos Sociais

The European Parliament’s Committee on Employment and Social Affairs (EMPL) hosted an Interparliamentary Committee Meeting (ICM) titled "Affordable Housing for All – Policy Approaches and Best Practice Cases in the Member States." The event took place at the European Parliament in Brussels (Antall 6Q2) on Wednesday, 9 April 2025, from 15:00 to 18:00.

During the EMPL Committee meeting on 18 March 2025, rapporteur Alicia Homs Ginel (S&D, ES) presented her draft report on the Commission proposal for the Traineeships Directive. Recent data shows that up to 78% of 18 to 35-year-olds in the EU undertake a traineeship - a figure projected to rise 16% by 2030. However, many trainees face less favourable conditions than regular employees.
