This action is a follow-up to the Commission’s 2019 report on the application and implementation of the Directive. Since the Commission letters of formal notice are not public, we currently do not have any detailed information on which Member States are being targeted on what grounds. However, we have concerns that the Commission may be targeting national measures protecting workers as barriers to the free provision of services. We have reached out to our national affiliates, and are already receiving indications that the Commission in some cases indeed is targeting additional safeguards put in place at national level as part of the transposition of the Enforcement Directive. According to the Commission press release the various infringement proceedings concern some or all of the following provisions of the Directive: - administrative requirements and control measures in place to monitor compliance with the rules on posting of workers; - defence of rights of posted workers and protection from retaliation; - subcontracting liability and protection of posted workers; - effective, proportionate and dissuasive penalties; - application and collection of administrative penalties and fines across borders. As a first step, Member States now have two months to reply and take measures. In the following, the Commission will decide on whether to send reasoned opinions. The ETUC will stay vigilant with regard to these proceedings, and we will count on your support. We remain at your disposal and will keep you informed on any further developments. ">2014/67/EU</a> Posting of Workers Enforcement Directive.</p> <p>The Commission has sent letters of formal notice to&nbsp;Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. In other words, the Commission is initiating&nbsp;dialogues regarding alleged maltransposition of the Directive in all Member States except Portugal, Spain and Sweden.</p> <p>The Enforcement Directive aims to strengthen the practical application of the rules on posting of workers by addressing issues related to fighting fraud and circumvention of rules, access to information, and administrative cooperation between Member States.
