Comece: new issue of Europeinfos. Environment, work and EU’s call to promote peace in the world

(Brussels) A transitional issue of Europeinfos, the monthly magazine of the Commission of the EU Bishops Conferences (Comece), while waiting for the new secretary general, father Olivier Poquillon, to take office. With the same keen attention with which the magazine had covered the preparations for the Cop21, it starts to monitor the process for the ratification of the Paris Agreements and the submission of the “decarbonisation plans”. Thomas Miessen (Confederation of Christian Trade Unions) is the one who explains the EU’s facts about the “secondment rules” which apply to companies that send their employees abroad for a short period of time, now revised so that seconded workers will benefit from the same protection and levels of remuneration as local workers. The revision process, though, was stopped by the “yellow cards” shown by eleven member states. José Ramos-Ascensão, Comece expert in ethical matters, tells about the differences between the EU and the UK about “genetic modifications of human embryos made by in vitro fertilisation” authorised by the British authority but seen with concern by the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies of the EU. A piece by Marek Mišák paves the way to the publication on June 14th of “La vocazione dell’Europa nella promozione della pace nel mondo” (Europe’s call to promote peace in the world), a Comece document to contribute to the global European Strategy that the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Federica Mogherini, is working at.
