Cohesion Policy: How can the EU protect work places

Do you speak cohesion?

In this episode we will look at how the pandemic has affected the labour market, what we can expect from 2021 as well as the different tools the EU has to help countries protect work places. To find out how regional authorities are dealing with the crisis, we spoke to the governor of the North Aegean region, Konstantinos Moutzouris. The chief economist of the European Investment Bank, Debora Revoltella, will tell us more about the market forces underlying the economic hardship European workers are going through and give us a better picture of the dynamics that we can expect to play out in the future. Finally, we ask Per HILMERSSON, the Deputy General Secretary of the European Trade Union Confederation that represents 45 million workers across the European Union about his take on the EU-level actions so far, and whether policy-makers in Brussels are doing enough.
