The EMPL Committee is responsible for employment and all aspects of social policy including working conditions, social security, social inclusion and social protection; the free movement of workers and pensioners; workers' rights; health and safety measures at the workplace; the European Social Fund; vocational training policy, including professional qualifications; social dialogue; and all forms of discrimination at the workplace and in the labour market except those based on sex. We are also in charge of the relations with five agencies: Cedefop, Eurofound, EU-OSHA, ETF and the newly created ELA.
The Committee has 55 members and the same number of substitutes, representing Parliament's seven political groups.
