EU minimum wage directive and COVID vaccinations of children

This week, our Beyond the Byline podcast focuses on the minimum wage directive agreed by the EU council. What is in the directive, which countries oppose it and what is the future of the minimum wages? To break down the components of this story, I’m joined by Janos Amman, EURACTIV’s Economy and Jobs editor. We are also talking about the start of vaccinations for children aged between 5 and 11 years old in France and other EU countries. What’s the plan and which vaccine is the safest according to the European Medicines Agency? I spoke with Clara Bauer from EURACTIV France to hear more on this story.
