The European Parliament’s rapporteur on the revision of Eurofound’s Founding Regulation, Mr Calvet Chambon met with the Agency’s Director, Juan Menéndez-Valdés (front row, left) and Deputy Director Erika Mezger (front row, right), as well as senior staff. In August 2016, the European Commission made a Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council on establishing the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound), and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 1365/75. The Commission’s Proposal aims to revise Eurofound’s Founding Regulation in order to align certain provisions of the existing Regulation governing Eurofound with the Common Approach on Decentralised Agencies, as well as to update the objectives and tasks of Eurofound.
