Workers – minimum safety and health requirements

EESC opinion: Workers – minimum safety and health requirements

Key points

The Committee:

  • essentially supports the proposal;
  • believes, after examining the proposal, that the text in question upholds the basic principles as regards the codification of the articles and annexes but deviates from this approach when it comes to the recitals;
  • calls on the Commission to take account of the reservations raised in this regard and to amend the text of the recitals accordingly; and
  • hopes to see the swift approval of the proposal by the Parliament and the Council.
