Fair labour mobility in the EU
The EU aims to increase labour mobility through initiatives such as 'matchmaking' between job-seekers and employers, and fighting undeclared work.
The EU is working to increase fair labour mobility in Europe by removing barriers that hinder it.
The EU supports mobility by helping job-seekers and employers in Europe find each other, wherever they are. It also seeks to make sure that the EU's mobile workers are not abused and to help coordinate the fight against undeclared work.
Better enforcement of EU rules on the posting of workers
The directive for the enforcement of legislation on the posting of workers seeks to boost the rights of posted workers, make the cross-border provision of services easier and fight against social dumping. Its aim is to improve the application of existing rules, without changing them.
The Council adopted the revision of the posting of workers directive on 21 June 2018.
The European Labour Authority
The EU seeks to establish a new European Labour Authority to improve cross-border cooperation. The main functions of this new body are:
- facilitating access to information on rights and obligations in cases of cross-border mobility for employees, employers and national administrations
- supporting coordination between member states in cross-border enforcement of relevant EU law
- mediating between member states in order to resolve cross-border disputes between them
- facilitating solutions in the event of labour market disruptions
