It will be allocated 20 million euros, with the goal is to attract at least 663 new entrepreneurs in the sector.
With the sent corrections in the strategic plan, a new assistance intervention will be created - "Start-up assistance for the establishment of new farmers in agriculture" with a budget of 20 million euros. It will support applicants aged 41 to 65 who would like to receive financing to start an agricultural business. The condition is that they have registered their first agricultural holding - sole trader or sole proprietorship, a maximum of 12 months before the date of application for the funds.

EIT DIGITAL LAUNCHES A NEW TRAINING PLATFORM FOR ACQUIRING DIGITAL SKILLS
EIT Digital introduced the global education initiative (d)Academy, which aims to help develop the digital skills needed in today's economy.
More than three-quarters of companies in the European Union report that they are struggling to find employees with the right skills, and a quarter of small and medium-sized enterprises consider the lack of qualified employees and experienced managers to be the biggest problem they face.
New technologies are changing the way we work and live, necessitating the need to retrain and upgrade the skills of the workforce to avoid falling out of the labor market and ensure a fair digital transition. Data from the 2023 DESI Digital Economy and Society Index shows that only 54% of European citizens have at least basic digital skills.
The (d)Academy will bring together experts from industry, education and research communities who will develop modular educational programs on topics ranging from cybersecurity to data analytics and machine learning. Programs will range from online courses to blended and hands-on training.
EIT Digital (d)Academy
The initiative will be implemented through the EIT Digital (d)Academy platform – a modern ecosystem designed to bring together trainers, training providers and workers. Employers will be able to use the platform to predict what skills they will need, determine the gap between available and required skills and synchronize learning outcomes with new recruitment, said Vanessa Wainwright, founder of abodoo.
With the help of the platform, it will be possible to determine the available skills of each learner and prepare personalized recommendations for training and career development. Each of the users will be able to indicate how they want to develop their career and in what field, after which they will receive a personalized package of trainings and learning content that will effectively fill the gaps between the available and necessary skills to achieve the goals of the learner. Also, employers will be able to identify skills gaps in their employees and align talent hiring with learning outcomes.
The platform will also offer skills-based job-hunting options, rather than the widely used method of reviewing resumes. This is expected to provide a wider selection of talent and increase efficiency in the search for new employees.

THIS IS WHO IS OBLIGED TO HELP THE TRADE UNIONS
According to the law, state bodies, local self-government bodies and employers create conditions and assist trade union organizations to carry out their activities.
They provide them free of charge with movable and immovable properties, buildings, premises and other material conditions necessary for the performance of their functions. What is the provision of these conditions and is there an option to bypass them?
The Labor Code recognizes the important social function of trade unions as the authentic representative and defender of the rights and interests of workers and imperatively stipulates that state bodies, local self-government bodies and employers are obliged to create conditions and assist trade unions to implement their activity. The general duty of state bodies, local self-government bodies, as well as employers is that they must first of all create the necessary conditions for the implementation of trade union activities.
Under the term "conditions" should be understood the creation of that atmosphere and environment that best supports the respective trade union organizations to effectively and timely exercise their representative and protective functions.
For this reason, the term "conditions" in all cases is associated with the specifics, with the peculiarities and challenges of trade union activity, with the essence of the trade union cause, with the circumstances and requirements that accompany trade union work. In practice, this means that the issues that have arisen, which relate to labor and social security relations and to issues of the standard of living, should be resolved by the social partners at the appropriate level, through the means of social dialogue, in a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect for the interests and of the two parties involved in it.
It is specifically stated that the state carries out the regulation of labor and directly related relations, insurance relations, as well as issues of the standard of living in cooperation and after consultation with the representative organizations of workers and employers.
The law specifies the type of material and technical conditions that should be provided to trade union organizations. These conditions are listed by way of example and are mainly reduced to buildings, premises provided for free use, as well as "other material conditions".
Under the concept of "other material conditions" should be understood, for example, the assumption of consumable expenses for the use by the unions of lighting, heating, water, telephone charges within predetermined limits, etc. The expression "other material conditions" is related to the provision of buildings and premises, because what is the point of the state or the employer providing for free use premises in which there is no electricity, water, heating or these costs are not borne, but only four walls?
In order to have clarity and certainty in the relations between the social partners, the specific obligations by law should be provided on the basis of agreements or clauses in collective labor agreements. These obligations should be in written documents, in writing, and not by verbal agreement, promise, etc.
The state authorities or the employer provides, according to its possibilities, the free use of premises for carrying out the activities of the trade unions and, after prior agreement, provides conditions for holding trade union events, free use of telephone/fax, copier equipment, Internet and e-mail access in sufficient volume and others the like, which are evidence of good cooperation between employers and trade unions expressed in writing.

A NEW PLATFORM WILL CONNECT EU EMPLOYERS AND THIRD -PARTY WORKERS
The average percentage of vacancies in the EU at the end of 2022 reached a historic peak - about 3% (more than twice the level of 2012), according to a study by Eurofound. Nearly one -third of employers indicate that the shortage of staff is already preventing them from producing goods and providing services. The problem is widespread, it also feels sharply in Bulgaria - from restaurant and tourism to production. And it's obviously supranational.
Against this background, in mid -November, the EC presented the first of its kind package for "Talents Skills and Mobility", which aims to attract qualified third -country workers. The measures include a new platform - EU Talent Pool to connect EU employers to third -party job seekers. Actions are further provided to promote the recognition of qualifications and mobility of students.
The initiative is from three European Commissioners - EC Vice-President Margaritis Schinas, Ilva Johansson, Commissioner for the Interior, and the new Bulgarian Commissioner Iliana Ivanova, who is responsible for innovation, research, culture, education and youth. "Europe is involved in the World Talents Competition. It is no less important than raw materials racing. The main competitors of Europe here are the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia," said Ivanova (the whole interview with -down).
The problem with the lack of staff
By 2023, the struggle for staff was most acute in Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany and the Netherlands, but in certain sectors and professions, shortage was critical throughout the EU. "The sectors with a structural shortage are tourism, hotel and restaurant, information technology, healthcare and logistics. In some of them, the lack of staff is even bigger after the pandemic," says the Bulgarian Commissioner. According to her, the environmental and digital economy that the EU is striving for also requires new labor, new specific skills and restructuring in the labor market. It is likely to affect particularly sectors such as construction, energy, industry and transport.
Against this background, Brussels has reason to worry that demographic changes, aging population and low birth rates will only exacerbate these challenges. By 2030, a working -age population in Europe is expected to decrease to 258 million in 265 million by 2022.
The new plan
The talent platform "will change the rules of the game," the EC said. In addition to connecting employers and job seekers, it will also provide information on the recruitment procedures from third countries and migration in the Member States, it will also include measures to ensure fair rental and labor conditions. Participation in the so -called. EU Talent Pool will be voluntary for Member States. The platform will cover all types of work and skills on the "talent ladder" (low, medium and highly qualified workers), incl. Long -term care workers - such as caregivers and those who look at the elderly or young children. "It makes a huge sense to them on this platform because they often find themselves in an unregulated situation," says EC vice -chairman Margaritis Skhinas. It is not possible to judge how many "talents" will be hired through the platform, but the goal is as much as possible if they respond to vacancies, adds Commissioner Johansson.
"The emphasis will be on the 42 most common professions, the list being prepared by the EC. It will be based on the experience of the EURES platform (the European Employment Services Cooperation Network designed to facilitate the free movement of Union workers) , but it seems that it will not be part of it and will be intended to be operatively compatible with other staffing platforms, "said Maria Mincheva - Deputy Chairman of the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and rapporteur on the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee on the subject.
The second component of the EC package is for easier and faster recognition of third-country citizens' qualifications. The aim is to develop the capacity of the national authorities in this area. This does not accurately harmonize the rules for recognizing qualifications of non-EU citizens (which is not excluded from happening at a later stage), but will help somewhat easier to facilitate procedures in Member States. The EC Vice-President Schinas sets an example with the pandemic of Covid, when at the most critical moment Member States could not get healthcare workers because of the inability to recognize qualifications in other countries.
The platform also has a third component that aims to further encourage educational mobility within the EU.
How Business accepts the idea
Immediately after the initiative was announced, the BusinessEurope CEO (the largest lobbying business organization in Brussels) Marcus J. Bayrer welcomes her: "It is high time for the EU to acknowledge the role of economic migration in assisting in dealing with labor and skills needs in Europe." And he adds that it is of vital importance that employers are closely involved in upcoming discussions.
Maria Mincheva from BIA says that their "members of all sectors put the lack of people as one of the most sensitive problems - workers in all positions of all levels of qualification are needed." According to her, the EC advocates for greater flexibility and reduction of administrative burden for third-country citizens, and this will certainly help the business.
According to European Commissioner Iliana Ivanov, the initiative is for the benefit of all Member States. "It does not treat them selectively. How they would take advantage of it depends largely on national authorities. They must make a reality the opportunities that the proposal creates." Maria Mincheva is of the same opinion: "In the last few months we have intensive communication with the various agencies involved in the process. For us a major role in improving the process is its digitalization - something that the Ministry of Electronic Governance works and will soon present its platform," she says.
The initiative is yet to be approved by the European Parliament and the Council before it becomes a fact, but "in any case it will be completed in full from the next EC after 2024," Mincheva says.

How serious is the problem of labor shortages in the EU?
75 percent of small and medium -sized enterprises say they do not find the people they need. The goal of having 20 million professionals in the IT sector by 2030 is in question - so far there are 9 million such specialists. We need another 11 million.
Europe's demographic problem is also known. By 2070, the number of people of working age will drop from about 65% in 2019 to 54-56%. At the same time, the pressure on pension systems and social protection systems is increasing.
There are a major shortage of staff in 28 professions. In 2020, 14% of the EU workforce was employed. These are plumbers and installers of pipes, nurses, system analyzers, welders and oxidists, drivers of heavy goods vehicles, civil engineers, software developers.
As the population of Europe is aging, it is increasingly feeling a shortage in medicine and care for sick and elderly. It is expected that by 2030, 7 million jobs in this field will be created, and the EU labor market can only partially cover them.
Increasing the mobility of the workforce within the EU is not enough to meet these needs. When deficient footage moves, it means that some regions win and others lose because almost all Member States suffer from labor shortages. In short, EU's own workforce is not enough.
Bulgaria is one of the countries with the largest "brain drain". At the same time, sectors such as IT technologies are developing well and have a constant need for fresh resources. What will be the role of our country in the new initiative?
Participation in the platform is voluntary. No one forces countries to open their labor markets to third -country workers. They have to decide what staff they need, if they judge, use the tools that the EU offers them. They can add or remove the professions to the 42 already identified.
The same applies to the recommendation for educational mobility. We have the ambition to significantly increase the exchange of students, students, teachers who train between Member States and we also have instruments and financial resources to help it. But the key is in the hands of Member States.
Let us remember that education is an area of national rather than union competence under the contracts. The Commission and its services are available in terms of technical assistance, financing the exchange of learners and learners through a program such as Erasmus +, for example.
The proposed package is the first history initiative for organized labor migration in the EU, which addresses a shortage of labor in different sectors. It also aims to prevent illegal EU entries and the risks to illegal migrants. In order not to allow tragedies in the Mediterranean, there must be paths for legal migration.
Last year, there were 330,000 illegal arrivals in the EU. At the same time, we have 3.5 million solutions that allow legal immigration - more than 10 times more. Over one -third of them - 1.5 million - are because of the needs of the labor market. Today, third -country citizens hired in the EU are 10 million.
How will the recognition of experience, internship, qualifications of third -party migrants happen?
Now there is a lot of bureaucracy in the system of recognition of professional qualifications. It demotivates job applicants from third parties. We call this not "drain" but "wasting" of brains.
The Commission proposed to establish national services to recognize qualifications with greater capacity and in more active cooperation with the countries of origin of migrants, shorter time processing time and reduced costs for job seekers, simplified translation and certification processes.
Once they have found a job through the platform, will third-country workers need a work visa and how will it proceed?
The issuance of work visas and permanent residence permission remains in the hands of Member States. If an employer wants to hire a third -party job candidate, he or she must contact national authorities to issue a visa or permission to the applicant. We do not question who makes the final decisions on labor migration. What we want to do with the proposal is to facilitate job seekers to find the right job vacancies.
However, the Commission proposes a revision of two directives related to the entry and residence of third -country citizens in the EU - the Directive for Long-Term Residents and the Single Residence Permit Directive, adopted respectively in 2003 and 2011.
The proposed revision of the second includes an obligation for Member States to accept applications submitted both in them and in a third party. It is also envisaged that a four -month period for issuing a decision to cover the required entry visa and the time for conducting a labor market test. The proposal also contains the right of the authorization holder to replace the employer within the validity of the permit. We suggest that it does not take at least three months if its carrier is out of work.
The main changes to the Directive for the Long Term Residents, on the other hand, provide for the required five-year residence period to be cumulative, while gathering the residence periods in the different Member States. Periods of residence under temporary and national protection and also be respected during study. Member States to introduce control mechanisms to monitor actual residence and to ensure that this status is not abused.
It is also envisaged that the right to gather families without conditions for integration, with full access to work for their members, and the children of long-term residence, born in the EU, can acquire status immediately.

HOW A BOSS CAN REVERSE A DISMISSAL ORDER
Although they are rare, there are sometimes cases where employers, after dismissing their worker or employee, change their mind and look for options to cancel the already imposed order.
The reasons for this can be very different, and often it is errors in the procedure itself, which his former subordinate is now appealing in court, or because he has changed his mind and wants to keep his staff.
Of course, the reasons can be completely different, but whatever they are, the employers are faced with the question of whether there is a legal procedure in such situations, through which they can cancel this decision of theirs.
According to the Labor Code, the worker or employee has the right to challenge the legality of the dismissal before the employer or before the court and request:
According to this year's change in the Labor Code, the employer can cancel the dismissal order at his own discretion until the worker or employee files a claim in court. After the filing of the claim and until the entry into force of the court decision, he may revoke the dismissal order with the written consent of the worker or employee. This change in legislation came into force on 01.07.2024.
In cases where the prior consent of the labor inspectorate or a trade union body is required to carry out the dismissal and such consent was not requested or was not given before the dismissal, the court annuls the dismissal order as illegal on this basis alone, without considering the labor dispute in substance.
Labor disputes are considered by the district court within three months from the receipt of the claim and by the district court - within one month from the receipt of the appeal.
How does recovery of previous work happen?
It is provided that when the worker or employee is reinstated to his previous job by the employer or by the court, he can take it if within two weeks of receiving the notice of reinstatement he reports to work, unless this deadline is not observed for valid reasons . The dismissed worker or employee is reinstated to the previous job and on the basis of an effective acquittal.
When the dismissal of the worker or employee is recognized as illegal by the employer or by the court or the grounds for termination of the employment relationship are corrected, the change that has occurred is entered in the labor book of the worker or employee. The entry in the employment book is carried out by the employer with whom the employment relationship was terminated, and in case of refusal - by the labor inspectorate.

500,000 UNEMPLOYED AND BUSY WILL ACQUIRE DIGITAL SKILLS BY 2026.
By mid -2026, 500,000 unemployed and employed persons for the base and average level of digital skills will be trained, and 100,000 persons who have acquired their digital skills independently will be given the opportunity to take an exam and certified. This was announced by the Minister of Labor and Social Policy Ivanka Shalapatova during the opening of the National Conference on "Digital Skills for the Digital Decade".
The Ministry of Labor and Social Policy organizes the forum within the European Year of Skills and as a national coordinator of activities within the European Year of Skills Year in Bulgaria. The main objective of the event is to provoke a discussion between national and European institutions, employers' and branch organizations, trade unions, academic community and youth organizations on the topic of digital transformation and the growing need for workforce with digital skills sought from the labor market.
National Employment and Training Policy puts as a priority the training of workforce to adapt to structural changes caused by digital and green transition, because the acquisition and improvement of digital skills is more than necessary in today's labor market. The set national goal is to reach participation in training every year of 35.4% of the population in the most active age (25-64). For this purpose, MLSP will develop and implement a national virtual platform for online training for persons over 16, which will give opportunities for flexible forms of training at a convenient time from a distance. The platform will also provide training opportunities adapted to disadvantaged persons in the labor market, such as disabled people with a low level of education and older people.
"In the period 2023 - 2027, we will invest over BGN 1 billion from the National Recovery and Sustainability Plan and the European Social Fund + to finance various workforce training opportunities, with a focus on enhancing digital skills," added Minister Shalapatova.

THE AGENCY FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES OFFERS MORE DELICATE CONDITIONS FOR FINANCING PROJECTS FOR REHABILITATION AND INTEGRATION OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
The Ministry of Labor and Social Policy publishes for public discussion proposals for changes in the methodology for financing projects for rehabilitation and integration of people with disabilities. The main reasons for the amendments are to facilitate the conditions for applying for funding from the Agency for People with Disabilities and to facilitate the procedure for evaluating and ranking the competitive proposals. The purpose of the changes is to increase the interest in the rehabilitation and integration of people with disabilities, which creates the conditions for their more complete inclusion in society.
It is envisaged that the application for funding will be made with fewer documents and the requirement for submission of documents available in public registers will be eliminated. Application restrictions will also be minimized. It is envisaged that the condition for the lack of connectivity of the candidates in terms of their participation in general governing bodies, as well as the condition for a compulsory participation for the implementation of the competition proposals. The proposed changes create a clearer, more relief and transparent procedure in the evaluation and ranking of projects by the Agency for People with Disabilities.
The changes aim to encourage the participation of more non -profit organizations, carrying out activities related to people with disabilities who can currently receive funding because they are in small settlements and do not have the necessary capacity, staff and budget for the implementation of projects under the program. Creating the opportunity to finance such organizations will help people with disabilities living in smaller settlements who, due to their low income and get the rehabilitation they need.
Non-profit organizations for people with disabilities can apply for the program funding - legal entities registered under the Law on Non-Profit Legal Persons for Performing Public Help, as well as nationally represented organizations of people with disabilities registered under the Cooperatives Act.
