From evagentes at web.de Wed Dec 5 05:30:41 2007 From: evagentes at web.de (Eva Gentes) Date: Wed Dec 5 05:31:00 2007 Subject: [CASA] =?iso-8859-15?q?Online-Petition_=22Fair_internship=22_=22?= =?iso-8859-15?q?Faire_Praktika=22_=22stages_honn=EAtes=22?= Message-ID: <832689714@web.de> English/Deutsch/Francais ------------------------ Hello everybody, I would like to inform you about an European Online Petition for fair "internship" and proper access by young people into the European Education Market: http://www.generation-p.dgbj.org/eng/the_petition/ The petition asks the European Parliament to request action by the European Union, to include internships generally in EU-statistics, to ask Member States to produce data on internships and, based on this, to produce a comparative study on the different internship schemes existing in the EU-Member States and to correct the negative impact of current internship schemes in the EU Member States by adopting European legal measures on minimal norms and standards for internships. These should include a time limitation for internships, a local minimum wage, social security benefits according to local standards and a clear connection to the educational programme in question. If you support these requests, please sign the competition and advertize it. Kind regards from Germany Eva Gentes ---------------------------------------------- Mitmachen und weitersagen! F?r faire Praktika und einen besseren Berufseinstieg von jungen Europ?ern VertreterInnen von europ?ischen Praktikanten-Organisationen haben am 22. November 2007 in Br?ssel eine Petition zur Verbesserung der Arbeitsverh?ltnisse von PraktikantInnen vorgestellt. In der Petition fordern sie vom Europ?ischen Parlament die entsprechenden Institutionen der Europ?ische Union dazu aufzufordern, Praktika generell in EU-Statistiken zu ber?cksichtigen von den EU-Mitgliedstaaten Daten und Analysen zu Praktika zu erfragen und, darauf basierend eine vergleichende Studie zu den verschiedenen Praktikums-Formen in den EU-L?ndern zu produzieren und europ?ische Mindestnormen und ?Standards zu Praktika zu verabschieden. Diese sollten Folgendes beinhalten eine zeitliche Begrenzung von Praktika, einen landes?blichen Mindestlohn, soziale Absicherung durch eine den Gepflogenheiten der Mitgliedstaaten entsprechende Beteiligung an den Sozialversicherungssystemen und eine Verkn?pfung des Praktikums mit dem entsprechenden Studienfach oder einer entsprechenden schulischen oder beruflichen Ausbildung. Hier gehts es zur Online-Petition: http://www.generation-p.dgbj.org/ Viele Gr??e Eva Gentes ------------------------------------------------ Salut tout le monde, je voudrais vous informer d'une petition pour des "stages" honn?tes et un acc?s correct au march? du travail europ?en pour les jeunes. La petition s'adresse au Parlement europ?en et demande une intervention de l'Union Europ?enne pour inclure les stages en g?n?ral dans les statistiques europ?ennes, pour demander aux Etats-membres de produire des donn?es sur les stages, et ? partir de l?, pour produire une ?tude comparative sur les diff?rents projets de stage existant dans les Etats-membres de l'UE et de corriger l'impact n?gatif des courants projets de stage au sein des Etats-membres de l'UE en adoptant des mesures l?gales europ?ennes sur des normes minimales et des standards pour les stages.
