Moving forward on the European Pillar of Social Rights: Commission continues work on fair and predictable employment contracts // Brussels, 25 September 2017

New rights such as the right to plain language contracts with more comparable information, greater rights to switch provider or contract, the right to a 12-month contract if you do not wish a longer contract, the right to walk away from your contract if promised internet speeds are not delivered, and the right to have emails forwarded to a new email address after switching internet provider.

This annual event brings together representatives of EU institutions, Member States, international human rights experts and 100 civil society participants to exchange views and experiences on the topic of "EU Human Rights Instruments and the Lisbon Treaty: state of play and the way forward".

In his keynote speech to a seminar on citizens' rights in Brussels, the Ombudsman said "the best way forward would be to make it possible for the Union to adhere to international human rights conventions, like the European Convention on Human Rights and to make the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights binding wherever EU laws are applied".

The social value of the Directive Whilst it is true that this Directive is an inadequate response to the proposals of the Commission and the requests of the European Parliament, particularly with regard to night work and the level of maternity benefits, the Commission nevertheless considers that the adoption of this text will improve the situation of women workers in certain Member States: - prohibition of dismissal irrespective of the length of time in the job and regardless of the size of the company represents a notable improvement for women in Member States where such restrictions still exist (in particular the United Kingdom), - inclusion of ante-natal medical examinations in working time is a welcome step ...[+++]forward (e.g. in Greece, Ireland, Belgium and France; in the latter case, the four compulsory examinations either had to be taken during personal leave or entailed a loss of pay), - the provisions relating to assessment of risks, particularly the fact that mental fatigue is now included as a potential risk, will clearly help to improve the level of protection of the workers concerned throughout the Community, - maintenance of employment rights during maternity leave is undoubtedly a step forward in the United Kingdom, where the employment contract is suspended during such leave (e.g. in terms of seniority, annual leave and pension rights), - the reduction to one year of the qualifying period for maternity benefits is particularly advantageous to women workers in the UK, where it was necessary to have worked for the same employer for two years (or five years in the case of part-time work) to qualify for maternity benefits at the higher rate (i.e. 90% for six weeks and a weekly flat-rate allowance for the subsequent period).

The European Union reaffirms the continuing and unqualified Palestinian right to self-determination including the option of a state and looks forward to the early fulfilment of this right. It appeals to the parties to strive in good faith for a negotiated solution on the basis of the existing agreements, without prejudice to this right, which is not subject to any veto.
