Commission promotes jobs in services sector: posting of workers – less bureaucratic and quicker

The European Commission published on 4 April 2006 a Communication to help member state governments, businesses and workers understand their rights and obligations when companies post workers from one country to work in another.

The Communication addresses practical difficulties encountered in implementing the Posted Workers Directive in the member states. It was aimed to eliminate any confusion over EU legal requirements and limits when workers are posted and prevent social dumping.
