“Five for
animals “, as the Polish press refers to the newly amended animal
protection laws, is still awaiting for the final voting. The poultry industry
is demanding amendments and opposing the introduction of a ban on fur farming
and a ban on ritual slaughter in Poland. Traders fear the loss of their source
of income, already threatened by the COVID-19 pandemic. They explain that the
new solutions will result in a loss of financial liquidity and difficulties in
paying off loans taken out to build and modernise farms. The sector organisations
explain that the Polish poultry industry, which is the main exporter of poultry
in the EU, may collapse overnight.
Change of employment conditions of a posted worker on the territory of the Republic of Poland.
The purpose of the amendment is to implement theEU Directive 2018/957 of June 28, 2018 regarding the posting of workers as part of the provision of services.
In line with the recital 13 of the Directive, experience shows that workers who have been hired out by a temporary employment undertaking or placement agency to a user undertaking are sometimes sent to the territory of another Member State in the framework of the transnational provision of services. The protection of those workers should be ensured. Member States should ensure that the user undertaking informs the temporary employment undertaking or placement agency about the posted workers who are temporarily working in the territory of a Member State other than the Member State in which they normally work for the temporary employment undertaking or placement agency or for the user undertaking, in order to allow the employer to apply, as appropriate, the terms and conditions of employment that are more favourable to the posted worker.
Why apart from BEREC there is no regulatory authority in the European Union to oversee the software and internet content economy under EU Regulation 2015/2120?
The level of still high digital exclusion around the world does not mean that we do not live in the internet age. The problem is not only caused by the lack of possibility to use services in general, but also by the lack of open internet access. The European Union has been trying to normalize this situation for several years, but still does not have proper regulatory authorities. Why then does the control of the Internet rest on the shoulders of national regulators?
The most important objective of the Regulation was to ensure equal and non-discriminatory, open internet access in all EU Member States. It has also become necessary to change contractual patterns due to new information obligations imposed on telecommunications undertakings. New rules for data transmission management and regulation of roaming prices in the European Union also came into force.
