01/03/2007: A report by Marie Panayotopoulos-Cassiotou MEP (EPP-ED, GR) on promoting decent work for all has been adopted in the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs on Thursday 1st March.
The idea of 'decent work' was conceived by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in 2000, and consists of the following four strategic objectives: job creating; guaranteeing rights at work; extending social protection; and promoting dialogue and conflict resolution.
Among the recommendations contained in her report, Mrs Panayotopoulos-Cassiotou calls on the Commission to provide impact assessments of all EU policies related to the promotion of decent work in the EU and its partner countries, and urges Member States and candidate countries to ratify and apply the ILO conventions.
