KEY MESSAGE

Ensure fair working conditions

WHY?

The proper implementation and enforcement of the existing legislative framework is critical to combat fraudulent practices and ensure a level playing field amongst companies and the proper application of the relevant labour law and working conditions for their workers.

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS

On the backdrop of the mandate of the European Labour Authority (ELA), the EU should continue to fight against all kind of fraudulent practices in the construction industry.

In this regard, the EU should keep focusing on improving the access to and quality of national and EU legislative information.

The EU should also guarantee that cooperation between national administrations is facilitated and ensure that EU legislation regarding cross-border provision of services is correctly implemented and enforced.

The EU should continue to support social partners’ initiatives.
