Public interface for posting of workers declaration & amending Regulation (EU) No 1024/2012
Co-decision by Parliament & Council
This regulation establishes a new online public interface to simplify the process for companies to declare when they are posting workers to another EU country. The aim is to reduce administrative burdens for businesses and improve the monitoring of posted workers' rights. The new system will affect businesses that post workers across EU borders and the national authorities responsible for monitoring compliance. It aims to create a more uniform and user-friendly system for these declarations. Currently, each EU country has its own system for posting declarations, creating significant administrative hurdles for businesses. This regulation introduces a single, multilingual online interface, which Member States can choose to use, to streamline these declarations and reduce complexity. The European Commission will set up and maintain the public interface. Member States must inform the Commission if they intend to use it. Once a Member State uses the interface, it cannot impose additional declaration requirements on businesses using the system.
