We need to ensure decent working conditions for people working through digital labour platforms.

Today, we are proposing measures to improve them and to support the sustainable growth of digital labour platforms in the EU.

#PlatformWork #SocialRights
📂Directive
L📂Workers
L ℹ️ Clear criteria to establish whether a platform is an employer and clarity on social protection and labour rights.
📂Directive
L📂Platforms
L ℹ️ Increased legal certainty, reduced litigation costs, business planning facilitation.
We want to:
🔸 increase transparency in the use of algorithms by the platforms
🔸 ensure human monitoring on respect of working conditions
🔸 give the right to contest automated decisions.

Technological progress must be fair and inclusive.
We will bring also more transparency around platforms operating across the EU by:

🔹 clarifying existing obligations to declare work.
🔹 asking platforms to make key information about their activities and the people who work through them available to national authorities.
Out of the 28 million people working through platforms in the 🇪🇺, 5.5 million may be currently misclassified.

The new rights will be granted to both workers & genuine self-employed.

We aim to make the most of the digital transformation and protect the 🇪🇺 social market economy.

⚠️ Crime does not stop at a border – neither should justice.

EU judicial systems need to work hand in hand to fight cross-border crime more effectively.

For this, we propose to further digitise our justice systems.

More about our initiatives below and→europa.eu/!UXxhFt
@VeraJourova @dreynders 1⃣️ Digitising our justice systems is key to providing easier and faster access to justice.

Our initiatives:

✅ Digitalisation of cross-border judicial cooperation
✅ Digital information exchange in terrorism cases
✅ Establishing a platform for Joint Investigation Teams
2⃣️ Justice systems also need to be more resilient to crises, and courts need to be able to work in all circumstances.

This is a principle of the rule of law. ⚖️

And equipping justice systems with the appropriate tools is about supporting this principle.

Over the last weeks, many of us have witnessed it: COVID-19 has resurged infecting some of our friends, co-workers or loved ones.

Today, we are putting forward a common and coordinated approach to address the resurgence of COVID-19 in many 🇪🇺 countries effectively.

#HealthUnion
Our call for determined and urgent responses include:

🔸Step up vaccination
🔸Rapid deployment of boosters
🔸Vigilance
🔸Rapid reaction to Omicron variant

We must act quickly and decisively to limit the spread of the virus and mitigate its impact.
🇪🇺 countries should put in place targeted and proportionate precautions and restrictions to limit the spread of the virus.

Where needed, effective public health measures, including social distancing and masks, need to be introduced.

Full EU coordination should be assured.

The rules we propose aim at protecting election integrity and open democratic debate.

#EUDemocracy
No one should be left behind in European democracy.
