Here’s what they discussed:

Teleworking: A way of life for around 70% of the country’s workforce during lockdown, teleworking is at a crossroads in Luxembourg. Despite the health and economic advantages, there remain fiscal and social barriers. A petition to make teleworking a legal right may help remove some of the challenges.

Mental health post lockdown: No sooner do we get our heads around one health pandemic than another potential crisis pops up. Post-lockdown anxiety about returning to potentially unsafe places of work and an unsustainable pace of work, is keeping mental health workers busy.

Eurogroup presidency: Portuguese finance minister Mário Centeno has said he won’t renew his mandate as president of the Eurogroup when it runs out on 13 July. This could be interesting news for Luxembourg finance minister Pierre Gramegna. And why not, since Luxembourg has a strong record of providing top European officials.
