EFFAT Agricultural President Fabrizio De Pascale met in with unions from the three countries to discuss the CAP’s social conditionality and its post-2027 reform.
from CZ, SK,and HU all agreed:on the need to defend and pursue a stronger #SocialConditionality across Europe.
❓What are the benefits of being part of the #EU & joining #EFFAT for candidate countries?
Today we opened our #OSH Seminar in #Brussels w/ colleagues from candidate countries to boost cooperation, strengthen rights & improve safety across all sectors. 💪

👏 EFFAT congratulates #UILTuCS #Fisascat and #Filcams on the first Company Supplemental Agreement at McDonald’s Italy!

Great to welcome a delegation from UA Zensen, Japan’s largest private-sector union, to Brussels this week!

📸Images from #SE Council in Zagreb 🌍
Our affiliates met to strengthen cooperation, solidarity, and synergies across the region.
💡Focus was on campaigns, collective bargaining, the Minimum Wage Directive, #TNCs, candidate countries, and mobilisations on #subcontracting, #CAP & #publicprocurement.
Last week @europarl.europa.eu voted for better public procurement rules: a step forward, but we warn that binding #SocialConditionality must be the guiding principle of the upcoming revision so that public money stops fuelling the current race to the bottom.
EFFAT view: effat.org/in-the-spotl...
This week the @europarl.europa.eu set its position on the future #CAP.
EFFAT warns: the CAP proposal risks undermining labour rights, social progress, and fair competition.
CAP must raise labour standards, not finance violations.
Our recent op-ed explains exactly why.

This week EFFAT featured among 470 signatories of a clear message to the EU, ahead of #SOTEU: Don't weaken the rules to protect working people and planet.
EFFAT visits Manifattura Sigaro Toscano in Lucca today for our Tobacco project launch.
2-day workshop starts today: Exploring the Italian reality, small producers, workers' voices, and EU legislation on the pipeline!
As @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu is about to deliver her #SOTEU, EFFAT’s call is simple:
put peace, working people, and the planet before narrow interests.
Is coherence with Europe’s own founding principles too much to ask?
