Origin

2026 - Third part-session

In the draft resolution, after paragraph 14.4, insert the following paragraph:

"protect the rights of agricultural and food-system workers, in particular freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to organise and to bargain collectively as provided for in Articles 5 and 6 of the European Social Charter, respectively, and to extend labour and social protections to seasonal, temporary and migrant workers who are frequently excluded from them.

Explanatory note

Workers are essentially absent from the recommendation. Grounded in the ILO Decent Work framework and, critically, in the Council of Europe’s own European Social Charter this amendment addresses that.
