Moving on to remote working, the question of occasional remote working or teleworking has not been a feature of the discussion in this country at all. The draft Bill we are dealing with only deals with a worker transitioning to full-time remote working, whereas it is different in Luxembourg and there is draft legislation in Germany to give workers the right to say, for example, that for 10% of the days they will work from home. Is the European Commission in general is in favour of the idea of occasional teleworking or remote working?
