<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"In March and April 2020, tens of thousands of Romanian agricultural workers were recruited to work on farms in other EU Member States, in particular Germany. Despite the measures put in place to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, they were allowed to travel given the dire need for farm labour and their own need for gainful employment at this time of crisis.However, upon arrival at the farms, numerous abuses were signalled. There were very few or no COVID-19 prevention measures in place, while labourers have been forced to work longer hours for less pay (or pay subject to conditions that were not mentioned upon recruitment) and are being threatened with the immediate termination of their contracts with no prior notice if they dare to demand decent working and living conditions.In the light of these evident abuses, we wish to ask the following:1.What is the Commission doing to ameliorate the situation of Romanian seasonal cross-border workers?2.How can these workers be guaranteed decent social security and labour security conditions?3.How can abuses such as these by recruitment companies and/or employers be prevented, mitigated and sanctioned?"
