Seven hour day with an hour and fifteen minute lunch. What kind of magic is this? What's the catch?

The catch is that you live in Europe and cops won't beat you to death.

Those are summer hours. In the rest of the year I'll be expected to work an additional 45 minutes. Officially we only get 30 minutes for lunch, but no-one cares. When our contact in admin is in we keep it to 45 minutes.

30-45 minutes for lunch, where do you live, in the Netherlands?

In France it's 1h30 usually (give or take a bit depending the company).

We take around a hour and a half but we're not officially supposed to.

Well this might be an anomaly but the company I worked for in the Philippines gave you a dedicated hour for lunch and two 15-minute breaks, plus two hours weekly for any of the workshops/learning opportunities they provide.
