For an example of what the effects of this would be, Dutch news mentions [1] that the requirement of minimum wage being at least 50% of the mean wage and 60% of the median would bump the Dutch minimum wage from €10.48 to €14.
Additionally, 80% of a country's workers will need to be under a collective bargaining agreement.
EU countries will have two years to implement this into their national laws.
