"We would like the state to take into account the recommendations and expectations outlined in the document developed by the employers' association and which we presented to the social partners today in the process of planning the labor safety policy in the future, so that it is as painless as possible for the business sector to adjust economic activity to the strict legal requirements.

The conference was attended by representatives from ministries and other government agencies, business sector, non-governmental and international organizations.
