ℹ️Reminder: Art. 153(4) TFEU allows Member States to have more protective social measures than stipulated in EU directives. @jorgenwarborn anti–“gold plating” line risks contradicting the Treaties & undermining the autonomy of social partners. https://t.co/qwNQWRKPto

EU-kommissionen föreslår att frigöra €8,5 miljoner ur globaliseringsfonden för att stötta 5 800 som förlorat jobbet efter Northvolts konkurs!💼 Men stödet kan betalas ut först när Europaparlamentet & ministerrådet sagt ja! https://t.co/vS5mnivIm1

“AI is everywhere, but jobs aren’t disappearing. Yet.” @Unionen’s survey, featured @FT, shows 2/3 of Swedish firms use AI, but 80% report no staffing change so far! Next? Efficiency gains, & possibly cuts. 🇸🇪 “We may be at a turning point.” @tobbraa

🇪🇺 A majority of EU leaders, including @SwedishPM, have signed a joint letter urging a radical simplification of EU rules to boost competitiveness. They call for: 🔹 Reviewing & cutting outdated regulations 🔹 Restraining new legislation 🔹 A “cultural change” in EU lawmaking

Confirmed: informal talks between @aliciahoms @RoxanaMinzatu & @eu2025dk on the #Traineeship Directive start 18 Nov. ⚡ Expect tough negotiations, the EP and Council are miles apart, and Member States show little appetite for anything that doesn’t cut or curb EU legislation!

🚩 #EUCO draft conclusions are doubling down on competitiveness! 🇪🇺 The plan: Further cuts of red tape for the green & digital transitions. Next: defence, digital, environment, chemicals, and agriculture! But is this smart regulation, or a slide towards deregulation? 🤔
