EU Pay Transparency Directive: The Transposition Deadline is Looming — What Now?

Three years have passed since the EU Pay Transparency Directive ("PTD") came into existence, and it now appears highly likely that very few EU Member States will have fully transposed its provisions into national law by the 7 June 2026 deadline.  For employers operating across the EU, this creates a deeply uncomfortable question: what are your obligations right now?

EU Artificial Intelligence Act

On June 13, 2024, the European Union (EU) adopted the Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act), making it the first-ever global law to regulate the use of artificial intelligence in a broad and horizontal manner. The historic measure applies to the development, deployment, and use of AI in the EU. Importantly, the EU AI Act has a certain “extra-territorial” effect to the extent that it is applicable to providers placing AI systems on the market in the EU, even if these providers are established outside the EU.

Open Table on The New EU and Belgian Law on Class Actions

Class actions and their (possible) role in European law jurisdictions have been a hot topic for quite a while and this is not likely to change. The new EU directive 2020/1828 imposes the obligation upon EU member states to introduce a specific legal procedure for collective repair by 25 June 2023. In Belgium, such a procedure for collective repair was already introduced in 2014. With the imminent implementation of said EU directive into Belgian law, this procedure is likely to undergo some substantial changes. During this in-person seminar, Werner Eyskens, Evelien Van Espen, Yaël Rager and Charlotte Stynen will discuss the current and future role of class actions in Belgium, the contours of the existing procedure for collective repair and the potential impact of the expected new rules, as well as the role of third-party litigation funding and the fate of collective proceedings that fall outside the scope of the existing procedure and the new directive.
