A tripartite working group will be appointed to prepare the amendments. in addition to the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment and employer and employee organisations, the ministries responsible for occupational safety and health, the protection of personal data and social security issues will be represented. As a rule, the working group will focus on labour law issues required for the implementation of the Directive.
