The EU Commission has sent letters of formal notice to 24 Member
States, for non-conformity of national legislation with the
Directive 2014/67/EU on the enforcement of Directive 96/71/EC
concerning the posting of workers in the framework of the provision
of services.
Directive 96/71/EC draws up a list of working conditions which
workers who are temporarily posted abroad by their employer must be
granted in the country to which they are posted (host country). Its
purpose is to guarantee the protection of workers
as well as provide a level playing field for service providers.
Directive 2014/67/EU aims to improve the implementation and
enforcement of Directive 96/71/EC. It addresses issues
such as abuse and circumvention of posting rules, joint liability
in subcontracting chains and sharing of information between EU
countries.
