European Labour Mobility Congress

PL EN

The Commission’s proposal deletes the distinction between free movement of workers (article 45 of the Treaty) and freedom to provide services (article 56) and that’s a legal problem, as the services’ provisions are the basis for the Directive

I think there is a lot of misperception and you have to tackle this misperception. Domestic main contractorsbenefit from posting. I thinkthis is totally forgotten in the current debate.

The evidence shows that the source of social dumping is not the posting of workers, but undeclared work, bogus self-employment and other forms of fraud.

dr Marek Benio,
Labour Mobility Iniciative

The debate on posting of workers is very much framed by the media, which do not know the difference between free movement of workers, posting and undeclared work. Media still mingle everything up and still blame migrant work, posting work or both when they are actually speaking of undeclared work

prof. Mijke Houwerzijl,
Tilburg University

Perception becoming reality is in the debate on posting, but also with regards to coordination rules. I think there was a missed opportunity of the Commission to publish all the figures they already have
