> Under the proposals, employers within the European Union would be legally required to suspend work if temperatures exceeded 30C

That's... uh... the entire summer in most of southern Europe?

I agree with the general intention, but the thresholds probably need to take into account humidity as well (i.e. be based on wet bulb temperatures), and I don't really see how one can apply a one-size-fits-all policy all the way from Greece to Scandinavia...
