Lo, TCO and Saco thank for the opportunity to comment on the European Commission’s initiative for a 28th corporate regime (EU Inc.). We see a risk that the proposal may create legal uncertainty and have undesirable consequences for the Swedish and European labour market. Simplifying company structures at EU level can be a legitimate objective.

Lo Sweden thanks for the opportunity to provide input in the context of the European Commission’s initiative on a European Strategy for Vocational Education and Training. Here are our thoughts: It is important that all vocational training is qualitative, nationally viable and developed with the social partners in each sector. More places in work-based learning (APL) are needed.

LO has not had the opportunity to examine the proposal as a whole and confines its comments to the following. The proposal excludes trade unions from the scope of the regulation. Lo agrees with this. The continued existence of the derogation should be closely monitored at the hearing.

Lo is basically in favour of proposals on fair labour mobility. Freedom of movement is important but it has also enabled cross-border labour criminality through, inter alia, the use of letterbox companies, tax evasion, social security fraud and the exploitation of workers posted between EU countries and from third countries.

As regards the proposal for a directive on pay transparency, the LO is in favour of strengthening the tools to identify and address pay discrimination. The extensive Swedish practice concerning the Equal Pay Directive, the Equal Treatment Directive and others have not produced sufficient results, despite the fact that the legislation has been in place since the 1970s.

Swedish Trade Union Confederation (LO) • LO considers that the Commission's proposal constitutes a very serious attack on the Swedish collective agreement model. In the long term, the collective self-regulation model - in which the social partiners have the primary responsibility of independently regulating conditions on the labour market - is at stake.
LO clearly sees a value in ELA contributing to the exchange of experience between national authorities. A general reflection though is that ELA still is a young authority and therefore should be allowed more time to perform and improve on its current duties. LO believes that the current mandate of the ELA is in line with what we perceive as the role of the authority.
LO Norway acknowledges that equipping European railways for better interoperability and facilitating greater mobility across borders is a good intention. We also support high ambitions for railway safety, as well as increasing the market share of the sustainable transport that railways provide.
A general reflection on the European Social Security Pass is that, like the EHIC for healthcare abroad from the Social Insurance Agency, it seems to be a positive development for citizens. Lo sees no negative aspects in introducing such a card. It would simplify access to protection and reduce the risk of errors and fraud, which is key to maintaining trust.
