A conversation with Mr. Manuel Pizarro, MEP, member of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs (EMPL) and the Committee on Fisheries (PECH), and rapporteur of the report on fishers for the future.

-What has the EU done so far to protect workers and their rights, especially during the pandemic?

-Which sectors and types of employment have been most affected by Covid-19 and how can we mitigate these consequences from now on?

-What is the EU doing for the employment in coastal communities and how can we attract new workers to the fishing industry?

#CESItalks is a series of conversations with MEPs and EP officials/experts on social and employment policies. It is part of a project co-financed by the European Parliament: “WeEP – The EP and workers: a well-designed post-pandemic recovery plan.”

The project wants to raise citizens’ and workers’ awareness of the role of the European Union – and of the European Parliament in particular – in the design of social standards.

Against the background of the post-Covid recovery and the heralded digital and green transitions, social and employment policies are more than ever of major relevance.
