The necessary action was lacking when on 28 June the European Commission Vice President Dombrovskis and Commissioner Schmit presented the new Occupational Health & Safety Strategic Framework 2021-2027 at a press conference in Brussels.

The new strategic framework does contain an initiative on mental health at work, but it is mentioned that it is a non-legislative initiative.

–A non-legislative initiative is insufficient. We've had decades of soft law, campaigns, best practice, tools and guidelines. It clearly is not working. At the same time know that 89% of employers deal manage health and safety because the law requires it. A new directive would kick off action in all member states and action is what is needed, says Martin Jefflén, President of Eurocadres.
