Ha, fair enough. I believe OP meant to ask and should have asked something along the lines of: "How is this the law in the famously pro-labor EU?"

If you have a longer notice period for the employers, it's only fair to have the same for the employees too. After all, if your company has to search for a replacement, and the prospective candidates are currently employed with the same notice period, they have to start looking as soon as you hand in your notice...
