European Commission Issues First-Ever No-Poach Decision
On 2 June 2025, the European Commission issued its first decision on no-poach agreements. Following dawn raids in July 2022 and November 2023, it fined Delivery Hero and Glovo €329m for participating in a food delivery cartel, which comprised not only no-poach agreements but also information exchanges and market partitioning. The Commission’s decision follows a wave of national European precedents initiated in 2019 that condemned employment-related practices. While the debate around the qualification of no-poach agreements is relatively new at the European level and is currently being clarified by the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU), the United States has been exploring this issue for more than a decade.

Non-biological mothers gained equal parental rights through constitutional court judgment in Italy
A recent judgment of the Italian Constitutional Court stated that the so-called ‘intentional mother’ (in a female same-sex couple, the non-biological mother) is entitled to the mandatory leave of absence from work which is normally intended for fathers in opposite-sex couples. This article explains the rationale for the ruling and how this decision may open the way towards the recognition of diverse family structures and contribute to the principle of equal treatment, thus indicating a meaningful signal of change that could, over time, contribute to potentially strengthening the legal status of LGBTQ+ families in Italy. It also considers the broader implications that this first step may have for Italian law, European human rights standards and international debates on inclusive family rights, including at the workplace.
