Update : ILC Brown Report Guidelines & next meeting 3 November 2025 (online)

Brussels, 14 October 2025

  • To: Members of the ad-hoc working group on Platform Work

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to inform you that the online meeting originally planned for 30 October cannot take place as scheduled. The ILO Office has arranged an informal consultation between governments and social partners on that same date.

The meeting is therefore rescheduled to 3 November at 11:00 CET.

In the meantime, we have been informed that EU governments will hold another meeting on 20 October to discuss their answers to the Brown Report.
As mentioned below, any feedback you may receive from your government will be very helpful in preparing our joint approach with the EU. 

Please note the new date and time in your calendar, and we look forward to your participation on 3 November.

As always, we remain available for any questions or support you might need.

With best regards,

Tea Jarc
Confederal Secretary

  • To: Members of the ad-hoc working group on Platform Work

Dear Colleagues,

As discussed, and based on the first round of feedback, we are sharing with you the draft input to the Brown Report.

As we said in the meeting, now is the time to look for joint solutions. This first version is intended to serve as a basis for discussion with governments and to seek agreement on the points where differences remain. We believe that moving forward with a united voice is the only effective way to work through the text and protect workers worldwide.

We therefore kindly ask you to:

  • Read through the draft guidelines carefully.

  • Add your national perspective, examples and realities, where relevant. 

  • Share the document with your government counterparts.

  • Send us your comments and observations.

To consolidate views and prepare next steps, we invite you to an online meeting on 30 October at 14:30 CET, where we will gather feedback and discuss the way forward together.

Thank you in advance for your active engagement and contributions. Your input is essential to ensuring that our common position is strong and representative.

With best regards,

Tea Jarc
Confederal Secretary
