The Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Keve) is encouraging small and medium-sized enterprises to participate in a European Commission survey on occupational safety and health, as well as the protection of workers’ rights across subcontracting chains.
A Consultative Step Toward New EU Employment Rules
The survey is being conducted through the Enterprise Europe Network as part of the European Commission’s preparations for the forthcoming Quality Jobs Act. The initiative aims to help align future employment standards with the evolving needs of the labour market.

Why The Commission Wants Business Input
According to Keve, the Commission is collecting information on how businesses manage occupational health and safety, protect workers’ rights within subcontracting chains, and assess the costs and benefits of implementing those measures.
Why Participation Matters For SmEs
Keve said participation is important because the findings will help shape future European employment policy and influence standards related to job quality. For SMEs, the exercise offers an opportunity to ensure that new rules reflect operational realities rather than relying solely on top-down assumptions.
Businesses interested in contributing can complete the questionnaire online by July 27, 2026. The chamber noted that no EU Login account is required to take part.
Keve is encouraging eligible businesses to share their experience so that upcoming regulations can better reflect the specific needs of Europe’s SME sector.
