László Andor, European Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, met on 23 January 2013 with representatives of the European Federation of Building and Woodworkers.

The Commissioner urged the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament to adopt as soon as possible the Commission's March 2012 proposal to boost enforcement of the 1996 posted workers Directive, which acts as a safeguard against social dumping.

The Commissioner also underlined the need to step up the fight against undeclared work and announced an initiative later in 2013 on establishing of an EU platform for a more effective cooperation between the Member States to address this issue.
