A decree published this Saturday in the Official Journal classifies four professional agricultural families as “occupations in tension” throughout the metropolitan territory.
Chose promise, chose due. “The government is meeting its commitments,” welcomes Marc Fesneau this morning on X. The Minister of Agriculture thus underlines the publication in the Official Journal this Saturday of a decree updating the list of professions in tension to compensate for the lack of agricultural labor. From now on, four professional families are considered as such throughout the metropolitan territory: employed farmers, employed breeders, employed market gardeners and horticulturists, employed wine growers and arboriculturists. The recruitment of seasonal workers is therefore made easier.
This recognition of a profession in shortage is a boost for employers in these agricultural branches. She permits “the issuance, without opposition of the employment situation, of work authorizations to foreigners who are not nationals of a Member State of the European Union, of another State party to the European Economic Area or of the Swiss Confederation », explains the decree. Clearly, companies in the agricultural sector will be able to recruit workers from outside the European Union as they wish. However, workers must always hold a valid visa.

Recognition of professions in tension was previously done region by region, taking into account the particularity and needs of each territory. A mode of operation that can create unequal situations. Faced with the anger of farmers, the executive was forced to let go by simplifying the normative mille-feuille. This measure was mentioned at the end of February by Gabriel Attal. Faced with recruitment tensions, the Prime Minister announced that a decree recognizing agricultural production as “sector under tension” would be published during the Agricultural Show, in order to “greatly facilitate the granting of visas”.

When the aforementioned union forces hold their general assembly on March 14th, they will be in a position to determine whether or not to move forward with the strike decision announced for the first quarter of 2024.
The secretary for administration and finance of the National Union of Workers of Angola Trade Union Confederation (UNTACS), Adriano dos Santos, told the newspaper OPAÍS that his organization, the General Central of Free and Independent Unions of Angola (CGSILA) and Força Sindical met, recently, with the Ministry of Public Administration, Labor and Social Security (MAPTSS), with this Government institution presenting a four-year pre-agreement. “At the meeting on February 26th, we received from MAPTSS a document indicating a pre-agreement with the focus on reviewing the worker’s condition, every four years.
Therefore, we will examine it with all caution and only following the assembly on March 14, 2024, will we present our counter-proposal”, declared Adriano dos Santos, adding that, as long as this period of time persists, the action of communication with all trade union organizations will continue in the same national order. According to the UNTA-CS representative, the document refers to criteria for treating some of the unions’ demands, but at a very low level of what is the claim of workers’ defenders, starting with the review of employees’ conditions, every four four years.
Although the leaders of the trade union organizations determined to analyze carefully and point by point the pre-agreement proposal presented by MAPTSS, Adriano dos Santos was able to infer that the time horizon contained therein, which contemplates the treatment of the worker’s condition, reveals, in itself, a clear intention to slow down the adjustment of workers’ earnings with a constantly changing socio-economic reality. In fact, the UNTA-CS representative complained regarding the indifference that Government entities are showing in negotiations, to the point of going to the table with the union forces, when the interest is favorable to them.
It is worth remembering that trade union organizations raised the possibility of calling a national strike across all productive sectors in the country, if the President of the Republic did not accede to their demands presented in a note rejecting the new salary table approved by the Angolan Executive. In vogue, is the fact that they are not reflected in the percentage value defined by the Government, referring to the increase in the national minimum wage, in the order of five percent, which, by the way, is already reflected in the salaries of public servants, since January last.
Another dissatisfaction has to do with the fact that their organizations were excluded from the consultation on the country’s socio-economic situation, which, from the point of view of trade unionists, contradicts the regulations of the National Council for Social Coordination, which provides for two annual meetings. Under the command of the current Government, the union forces claim to have participated in just one meeting.
National space agencies and Africa’s “NewSpace” companies will meet between the 2nd and 5th of April this year, in Luanda, to identify mechanisms for the continued insertion of geospatial technology at the service of the continent’s economic development
The conference, under the theme “The Role of Space in Reducing the Poverty Gap in Africa”, will highlight the transformative potential of space initiatives in addressing socio-economic disparities in Africa and will serve as an avenue to discuss the best approach to taking advantage of space technology , including satellite communications, remote sensing and geospatial data.

To this end, the document clarifies, the conference will explore all aspects of space and satellite technology, including political and commercial opportunities in Africa, while highlighting the potential impact of cooperation frameworks between stakeholders to achieve common objectives in the industry and on the continent. As African governments intensify their efforts and investments to develop their respective local space ecosystems, more commercial companies are taking root on the continent and there is a need to create environments conducive to the development of innovation.
This conference, as Africa’s premier space event, will bring together decision-makers from various African governments, national space agencies, industry leaders, “NewSpace” companies and high-level stakeholders from all segments of the continent’s space industry.
