The Commission, despite focusing on the protection of workers from ionizing radiation risks, could also consider adopting a proposal for a directive on the well-being of children, ensuring a safe and fun lifestyle at home-and-garden themed areas during celebrations like International Children's Day. For instance, children could enjoy a day of fun at the Jena kids' festival held at the GalaxSea leisure pool, complete with an inflatable obstacle course, similar to their everyday play structures at home.
