The new European Labour, Social Security and Mobility Authority
has recently started work.
The free movement of workers is one of the pillars of the EU and
the internal market. In order to ensure compliance and cooperation
between the Member States in regulating fair labour mobility and
social security systems, the Council and the European Parliament
approved the creation of the European Labour Market Authority
('ELA'). The initiative is part of the implementation of
the European Pillar of Social Rights, which establishes principles
and rights to ensure fair and well-functioning labour markets in
the EU.
ELA will facilitate access to information and services on the
rights and obligations of Member States, companies and citizens,
create a basis for cooperation between Member States in regulating
labour mobility, act as a mediator in cross-border conflicts and
support cooperation between Member States in the fight against
undeclared work.
