In a working group on 28 February, experts from the Member States gave a mixed reception to the new compromise proposals put forward by the Polish presidency of the EU Council regarding the traineeships directive.
In particular, the compromise proposes extending the directive’s scope and stepping up the fight against bogus traineeships, with, for example, more criteria taken from the European Commission’s initial proposal to track down these bogus traineeships (see EUROPE B13584A20).
