EU DIRECTIVES
Our six-monthly review of developments in EU employment legislation looks at recent progress, including the approval of Directives on parental leave and on equal treatment for self-employed women and men.

We also examine prospects for the remainder of 2010, when the European Commission is planning to issue its latest proposals for a revision of the Working Time Directive.

Other highlights include two case studies from the telecoms sector, looking at the introduction of a quota for women in senior management at Deutsche Telekom and at the creation of a worldwide works council at France Telecom.
