The study focuses on the analysis of national legislation and best practices across the EU Member States that address health and safety requirements for the protection of mental health at work. The study reveals that efforts at EU and national level are currently insufficient to protect employees from psychosocial risks.

Ansvarlighed og gennemsigtighed er vigtige værdier i EU. EU supplerer medlemsstaternes aktiviteter for så vidt angår arbejdstagernes ret til information og høring ved at indføre minimumskrav ved hjælp af direktiver eller gennem foranstaltninger med henblik på at fremme samarbejde mellem medlemsstaterne.

En »udstationeret arbejdstager« er en ansat, der er udsendt af vedkommendes arbejdsgiver for at levere en tjenesteydelse i en anden EU-medlemsstat på et midlertidigt grundlag. Etableringsfriheden og den frie udveksling af tjenesteydelser er grundlæggende frihedsrettigheder, der er nedfældet i traktaten om Den Europæiske Unions funktionsmåde (TEUF). Princippet om udstationerede arbejdstageres status er »lige løn for samme arbejde på samme sted«. EU-lovgivningen er imidlertid under udvikling som reaktion ...

Den europæiske integration har i årenes løb ført til en betydelig social udvikling. Det var en ny milepæl i 2017, da Parlamentet, Rådet og Kommissionen proklamerede den europæiske søjle for sociale rettigheder og bekræftede deres tilsagn om at sikre bedre leve- og arbejdsvilkår i hele EU. Den tilhørende handlingsplan fra 2021 indeholder konkrete initiativer til at omsætte dette engagement til virkelighed.

Den europæiske beskæftigelsesstrategi, der går tilbage til 1997, fastlagde et sæt fælles mål for beskæftigelsespolitikken og bidrog til en "blød samordning" mellem medlemsstaterne gennem en tilsynsproces og tilknyttede finansieringsinstrumenter. Et af de vigtigste mål med Europa 2020-strategien var at skabe flere og bedre job. Kommissionen har efter indgangen i et nyt årti foreslået nye og mere ambitiøse mål inden for beskæftigelse, færdigheder og social beskyttelse for at opbygge et stærkt socialt ...

The EU's response to these exceptional circumstances have included changes to its fiscal, monetary and investment policies, notably through the adaptation of State aid to allow Member States to support their economies by means of more direct intervention. Under competition law ...

The social climate fund (SCF) was proposed by the European Commission as part of the 'fit for 55' package, to support the most vulnerable citizens and companies affected by the extension of the EU emissions trading system (ETS) to the buildings and road transport sectors. The SCF would be partially financed from future ETS revenues, and used for direct income support and investment in energy efficiency-related building renovations and sustainable transport. A provisional agreement was reached by ...
