On Wednesday, the College of Commissioners is expected to present its proposal for fair minimum wages for workers in the EU. The EU has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, with negative effects on Member States' economies, businesses, and the income of workers and their families. Ensuring that all workers in the EU earn a decent living is essential for the recovery as well as for building fair and resilient economies, and minimum wages have an important role to play in this regard. The College’s agenda also includes the proposal on the Customs Single Window and the Communication on additional COVID-19 response measures.
