Statement: Free movement of workers: Commissioner Andor welcomes Parliament’s approval of Directive

On the 12 March 2014, the European Commissioner Andor welcomed the approval by the European Parliament of the proposed Directive to make it easier for people to exercise their right to work in another Member State, less than one year since the Commission presented the proposal.

This is good news for all those who want to work or are already working in another Member State. In particular, the rules will better protect EU mobile workers against discrimination and will help them overcome obstacles to working in another EU country.
