In Latvia, deputies of the Union of Greens and Farmers faction have proposed amendments to the Law on Supervision of Food Circulation. These amendments suggest fines of between 200 and 750 euros for insufficient knowledge of the state language among workers in the food circulation sector, including catering. This could impact waiters and couriers, including those working as self-employed for companies like Bolt and Wolt. The fines, ranging from 40 to 150 penalty units (one unit being €5), aim to ensure workers have adequate proficiency in Latvian to maintain health and food safety.
