This directive is aimed at improving the enforceability of the existing regulation on freedom of movement for workers within the EU. It will help remove existing barriers to the mobility of EU workers by making it easier to enforce their rights under EU law and providing information and legal support to mobile workers in the EU who face discrimination based on their nationality.
The purpose of the directive is to establish fair and transparent conditions for those European citizens who decide to move to another country to work and the result of the negotiations was satisfactory for us. We have succeeded in highlighting and securing the role of trade unions and employers in protecting mobile workers and preventing unequal treatment. The S&D Group also ensured that a fair balance was reached between individual rights and collective rights.
