Commission’s initiative also received encouragement from Germany, which is due to hold the Presidency of the EU Council from the beginning of July. Carsten Stender of the German Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs said that “you have our support”.

Commissioner Reynders’ message to the companies was that acting sustainably and responsibly pays off... He also said that the forthcoming legislation would be part of the EU’s Covid-19 recovery package...
