On this year’s International Women’s Day on March 8, the President of CESI’s Commission on Women’s Rights Kirsten Lühmann calls on policy makers to continue recent successful progress towards gender equality in the EU.

As the military conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza symbolise a new era for security in Europe, CESI calls for a more central role of the EU to secure an efficient and effective defence of its Member States.

Last week, CESI held a further edition of its lunchtime event series CESI@noon. Themed 'Strengthened European Works Councils (EWCs): Can The European Commission’s Proposal Deliver?', it served to highlight the potential of strengthened EWCs for improved information and consultation practices for workers in Europe.
