(2) Slobodno kretanje radnika daje pravo svakom građaninu da se slobodno odseli u drugu državu članicu kako bi ondje radio i živio za tu svrhu, te ih štiti od diskriminacije u pogledu zapošljavanja, naknade i ostalih uvjeta rada u odnosu na državljane te države članice. Treba ga razlikovati od slobode pružanja usluga, koja uključuje pravo poduzeća da pružaju usluge u drugoj državi članici, zbog čega mogu privremeno poslati („uputiti”) svoje radnike da obavljaju posao potreban za pružanje tih usluga ondje.

	(3b) Kako bi se osigurala usklađenost s Direktivom 96/71/EZ bez nepotrebnog administrativnog opterećivanja pružatelja usluga, bitno je da se činjenične elemente navedene u odredbama o sprečavanju zloupotrebe i zaobilaženja u ovoj Direktivi smatra indikativnima i neiscrpnima. A posebno ne bi trebalo zahtijevati da svaki pojedini element bude zadovoljen u svakom slučaju upućivanja.

U tom je kontekstu bitno naglasiti važnost alata za praćenje kako bi se osigurala usklađenost s važećim pravilima, a posebno minimalnim uvjetima zapošljavanja, kao i kažnjavanje onih koji zaobilaze ta pravila.

(8) Sindikati imaju važnu ulogu u kontekstu upućivanja radnika radi pružanja usluga jer socijalni partneri mogu, u skladu s nacionalnim pravom i/ili praksom, odrediti različite razine (naizmjenično ili istodobno) važećih minimalnih plaća.	(8) U mnogim državama članicama socijalni partneri imaju važnu ulogu u kontekstu upućivanja radnika radi pružanja usluga jer oni mogu, u skladu s nacionalnim pravom i/ili praksom, odrediti različite razine (naizmjenično ili istodobno) važećih minimalnih plaća. Uz to pravo trebala bi postojati i obveza socijalnih partnera da obavješćuju i informiraju o tim plaćama.

Tekst koji je predložila Komisija	Izmjena
	(8a) Nadzorna tijela u državama članicama imaju najvažniju ulogu u provedbi Direktive 96/71/EZ. Zapošljavanje bez prijave može se zaustaviti samo učinkovitim i djelotvornim provjerama sukladnosti s minimalnim uvjetima zapošljavanja. Praćenje država članica ne smije se ometati ni na koji način.

Tekst koji je predložila Komisija	Izmjena
(10) Odgovarajuća i učinkovita primjena i provedba ključni su elementi u zaštiti prava upućenih radnika, dok loša provedba potkopava učinkovitost pravila Unije koja vrijede u tom području. Bliska suradnja između Komisije i država članica stoga je nužna, a ne treba zanemariti ni važnu ulogu inspektorata za rad i socijalnih partnera u tom pogledu.

Stoga je nužno uspostaviti i održavati blisku suradnju između država članica, Komisije te mjerodavnih nacionalnih, regionalnih i lokalnih tijela, istovremeno naglašavajući važnu ulogu inspektorata za rad i socijalnih partnera u tom pogledu.

Tekst koji je predložila Komisija	Izmjena
	(10a) Učinkoviti postupci praćenja u državama članicama neophodni su i zato ih treba uvesti u cijeloj Europi. Države članice trebaju osigurati odgovarajuća financijska sredstva kako bi omogućile nadležnim tijelima da otkrivaju i suzbijaju zaobilaženje važećih pravila. Države članice imaju pravo provoditi učinkovite, redovite i fleksibilne inspekcije potrebne da se osigura potpuna usklađenost s Direktivom 96/71/EZ i odredbama ove Direktive, pod uvjetom da su opravdane, razmjerne i nediskriminirajuće.

(11) Uzajamno povjerenje, duh suradnje, stalni dijalog i uzajamno razumijevanje nužni su u tom pogledu. Nedovoljna suradnja između država članica ostaje problem pri provedbi Direktive 96/71/EZ i sprječava stvaranje jednakih uvjeta za poduzeća i zaštitu radnika. O nepotpunom pridržavanju država članica ove Direktive treba obavijestiti Europsku komisiju koja će odlučiti hoće li pokrenuti postupke zbog kršenja u skladu s Ugovorom.

(12) U cilju bolje i ujednačenije primjene Direktive 96/71/EZ prikladno je predvidjeti sustav za elektroničku razmjenu podataka kako bi se olakšala administrativna suradnja, a nadležna tijela trebala bi se što više koristiti Informacijskim sustavom unutarnjeg tržišta (IMI). Međutim, to ne bi trebalo spriječiti primjenu bilateralnih sporazuma ili dogovora koji se odnose na administrativnu suradnju.

	(13a) Zabrinjavajuće je to što države članice još uvijek imaju brojne poteškoće s naplatom prekograničnih upravnih globa i kazni te što se uzajamnim priznavanjem upravnih globa i kazni treba baviti u budućem zakonodavstvu.

(14) Treba dodatno konkretizirati obveze država članica da učine informacije o uvjetima zapošljavanja opće dostupnima i da osiguraju učinkovit pristup tim informacijama, ne samo pružateljima usluga iz drugih država članica, nego i dotičnim upućenim radnicima.	(14) Poteškoće u pristupanju informacijama o uvjetima zapošljavanja vrlo su često razlog zašto pružatelji usluga ne primjenjuju postojeća pravila. Države članice stoga trebaju osigurati da takve informacije budu opće dostupne, besplatne i da im se omogući učinkovit pristup, ne samo pružateljima usluga iz drugih država članica, nego i dotičnim upućenim radnicima. Države članice isto tako trebaju uspostaviti kontaktne točke da omoguće radnicima i pružateljima usluga da ostvare svoje pravo na informacije, savjet i podršku.

Takve internetske stranice trebaju osobito obuhvaćati svaku internetsku stranicu stvorenu u skladu sa zakonodavstvom EU-a s ciljem promicanja poduzetništva i/ili razvoja prekograničnih usluga.	(15) Kako bi se poboljšala dostupnost informacija, treba stvoriti jedan izvor informacija u državama članicama. Svaka država članica treba kreirati jedinstvenu službenu nacionalnu internetsku stranicu, primjenjujući standarde internetske pristupačnosti, i druga odgovarajuća sredstva komunikacije. Takva internetska stranica treba osobito obuhvaćati informacije o uvjetima zapošljavanja primjenjivima na upućene radnike na nacionalnom teritoriju, kao i poveznice na svaku internetsku stranicu stvorenu u skladu sa zakonodavstvom Unije s ciljem promicanja poduzetništva i/ili razvoja prekograničnog pružanja usluga.
Justification
The current situation in which terms and conditions of employment are to be found through different sources, leads to poor awareness of rules and in consequence, their non-application. Establishing a single source of information should contribute to improving its accessibility for both - employers and employees.

(16) Kako bi se osigurala ispravna primjena i pratilo pridržavanje temeljnih pravila o uvjetima zapošljavanja koja treba uvažavati u slučaju upućenih radnika, države članice trebaju primjenjivati samo određene mjere kontrole ili administrativne formalnosti na poduzeća koja upućuju radnike da pružaju usluge. Takve mjere i zahtjevi mogu se nametnuti samo pod uvjetom da nadležna tijela ne mogu učinkovito obavljati svoju nadzornu zadaću bez traženih informacija i da se potrebne informacije ne mogu lako dobiti od poslodavca upućenih radnika ili od tijela u državi članici u kojoj pružatelj usluge ima poslovni nastan, uz razumno kašnjenje, i/ili ako manje restriktivne mjere ne bi osigurale ostvarenje ciljeva nacionalnih mjera kontrole koje se smatraju potrebnima.	(16) Kako bi se osigurala ispravna primjena i pratilo pridržavanje temeljnih pravila o uvjetima zapošljavanja koja treba uvažavati u slučaju upućenih radnika, države članice trebaju primjenjivati nužan skup mjera kontrole i administrativnih formalnosti na poduzeća koja upućuju radnike da pružaju usluge kojima se učinkovito sprečavaju i suzbijaju prijevare i nepošteno natjecanje. Države članice mogu nametnuti dodatne administrativne zahtjeve i mjere kontrole koje smatraju potrebnima za učinkovito praćenje i ispunjavanje obveza navedenih u Direktivi 96/71/EZ i ovoj Direktivi.

	(17a) Kako bi se učinkovito provodili uvjeti zapošljavanja, također je potrebno suprotstaviti se lažnom samozapošljavanju. To ima odlučujući značaj u sprečavanju mogućih zloupotreba. Odgovorno tijelo treba imati resurse potrebne za utvrđivanje ne rade li u stvari navodno samozaposleni radnici u velikoj mjeri uzastopno za iste poslodavce ili nisu li vezani za njih nekom vrstom hijerarhijskog odnosa.

(24) S obzirom na učestalost podugovaranja u građevinskom sektoru, a u cilju zaštite prava upućenih radnika, potrebno je osigurati da se u takvom sektoru barem izvođač čiji izravni podizvođač ima ulogu poslodavca može osim ili umjesto poslodavca smatrati odgovornim za isplatu minimalnog neto iznosa plaće upućenim radnicima, zaostataka neisplaćenih naknada i/ili doprinosa koje treba uplatiti u zajedničke fondove ili institucije socijalnih partnera koji su regulirani zakonom ili kolektivnim ugovorom, ukoliko su ti obuhvaćeni člankom 3. stavkom 1. Direktive 96/71/EZ. Izvođač nije odgovoran ako je postupio s dužnom pažnjom. Ona može podrazumijevati preventivne mjere u smislu dokaza koje dostavlja podizvođač, uključujući dokaze temeljene na informacijama koje potječu od nacionalnih tijela, tamo gdje je to bitno.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Posting of workers plays a crucial role in the context of cross-border provision of services and the development of the internal market. Every year around one million EU citizens are posted to work in another Member State. This category of workers needs to be protected especially in the time of crisis, when their potential and competitiveness allow maintaining a certain level of employment or even helping generating new jobs. We shall act in order to develop and improve the mobility of European undertakings in the internal market. This will definitely contribute to economic growth and stability of the European Union.

The freedom to provide services (it needs to be distinguished from the free movement of workers), under which posting takes place, is one of the pillars of the internal market and constitutes a basis of cross-border mobility of thousands of European undertakings. The guarantee of freedom to provide services has to come together with the guarantee of workers’ rights. In this context, a balanced approach is indispensable when it comes to measures and instruments proposed. The cooperation between Member States must be further enforced to better protect and survey this special category of posted workers on the European internal market.

ENFORCEMENT DIRECTIVE

The experience of the past years shows clearly that there is an urgent need of improvements in order to secure a better implementation, application and enforcement of the Directive 96/71/EC concerning the posting of workers in the framework of the provision of services. There is a series of problems that range from disrespect of workers’ rights and lack or inaccessibility of information to persisting obstacles in the cooperation between Member States or lack of execution of fines and penalties in the cross-border context. Moreover, in the past years there were several ECJ's judgments resulting in delimitation of certain measures in the legal framework concerning the posting of workers. Therefore, on the 21^st of March 2012 the European Commission proposed an Enforcement Directive with new solutions and measures. The Enforcement Directive is based on Articles 53(1) and 62 TFEU which, for the sake of legal clarity, should be maintained.

The rapporteur acknowledges the need for improvements in order to secure a better implementation, application and enforcement of the Directive 96/71/EC and therefore welcomes the European Commission’s proposal. In the rapporteur’s view the Enforcement Directive shall in general:

 contain balanced measures in order to protect both, posted workers and freedom to provide services;

 set a clear legal framework for the category of posted workers so that their potential and competitiveness is used, especially in the time of crisis, to combat the growing unemployment;

 improve the access to information, both for companies and employers, to make posting easier and safer;

 improve cooperation between Member States in order to better secure employers’ rights;

 avoid unnecessary bureaucratic burdens for the companies (especially SMEs) which could hamper their mobility in the internal market and their capacity to create new jobs.

Accessibility of information (art. 5)

Taking into account that problems with accessibility, transparency and exhaustiveness of information on terms and conditions of employment are very often a cause of inapplication of rules, there is an urgent need to improve access to and communication of information. The existence of different labour market models and industrial relation systems in the EU, where generally binding rules are established alternatively or simultaneously by national authorities or social partners, creates problems in identifying the terms and conditions of employment to be applied. In order to solve the problem the rapporteur proposes to introduce a single national website per Member State with all the necessary information on binding terms and conditions of employment. The rapporteur insists also on ensuring the accessibility of information at EU level through updated, exact and exhaustive information in the country fiches published on the EC website. Improving the accessibility of information, also by making it available to workers and service providers in English and other most relevant languages, will help eliminating a series of problems, which, as today’s experience shows, can cause serious consequences to both undertakings and posted workers.

Legal clarity and proportionality of the proposed measures (art. 3, 9)

In order to guarantee a legal clarity and certainty a list of uniform measures at EU level must be established. Two articles in the Enforcement Directive are of paramount importance here - articles 3 and 9.

The rapporteur proposes to maintain the indicative character of the lists in Articles. The two lists of criteria in article 3 shall combat and prevent the circumvention of law but cannot lead to situations where honest undertakings are excluded from certain national markets. Posting of workers is not a national phenomenon, it is a cross-border activity which requires a common legal framework and a common approach. Therefore the lists have to contain common indications at EU level.

Establishing a common list of criteria in article 3 is directly linked to the introduction of a common list of control measures in article 9. The rapporteur firmly opts for clarity in the context of controls, what can only be guaranteed by a common list of possible control measures. The legal certainty should be obtained by a clear communication of what is to be controlled.

The proportionality of proposed measures is a fundamental requirement for their acceptance at EU level.

Cooperation between Member States (art. 6, 7, 18)

Having regard to the fact that posting of workers is a cross-border activity, proper and effective cooperation between the competent authorities from the Member State of establishment and the host Member State is necessary.

In order to improve administrative cooperation between Member States, a better use of the IMI system has to be secured. Thus, the rapporteur proposes the obligatory use of the IMI system always when it is possible and the revision of deadlines proposed by the EC, in order to make them more feasible. Additionally, the matter of data protection is to be guaranteed.

OPINION of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (4.3.2013)

for the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs

on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the enforcement of Directive 96/71/EC concerning the posting of workers in the framework of the provision of services

(COM(2012)0131 – C7‑0086/2012 – 2012/0061(COD))

Rapporteur: Malcolm Harbour

SHORT JUSTIFICATION

The free movement of workers and the freedom to provide services are fundamental pillars of the internal market. When an undertaking sends workers to another Member State in the context of a service provision, the Posted Workers Directive 96/71/EC aims to protect the rights of such workers and prevent social dumping. This Directive has proven to be heavily circumvented and insufficiently enforced. In response, the Commission proposed an enforcement Directive.

The purpose of the enforcement Directive must be to create feasibility of the provision laid down Directive 96/71/EC, to ensure a level playing field for companies, to create disincentives for circumvention and to safeguard the protection of workers rights.

Your Rapporteur has proposed additional text to underline the objectives of 96/71/EC, focussing on no discrimination between employees on the basis of nationality, and stressing that the proposed enforcement Directive should respect the principles laid down in 96/71/EC while improving enforcement and effectively sanctioning circumvention.

Your Rapporteur has introduced a clarifying text in a number of areas. These include clearer definitions and clarification of the roles and responsibilities of Member States and service providers, such as the evidence that an employer-employee relationship existed prior to posting. Your Rapporteur proposes a minimum set of enforcement measures and an open list in Article 9 that is essential to allow Member States the necessary flexibility to take additional measures to ensure the proper enforcement of 96/71/EC

In order to combat circumvention, your Rapporteur has made 3 key proposals. Firstly, that in case of non-compliance with Directive 96/71/EC and this directive, the concerned undertaking shall be covered by the relevant legislation applicable in the country of service provision, and all concerned workers shall be deemed workers exercising their freedom of movement within the Union in according with Article 45 of the TFEU which stresses non-discrimination.

Secondly, an amendment of the legal base of the proposal to clarify this Directive concerns the free movement of workers and services. Thirdly, a strong sanction for those Member States who do not cooperate when asked to provide the necessary information to verify a posting situation.

Abuse of subcontracting chains is not unique to the construction sector. Therefore joint and several liability should be extended to all sectors. The requirement for due diligence would be difficult to implement in practice, thus it has been deleted. Member States should take the necessary measures, according to their own experiences and procedures, to ensure implementation of joint and several liability. The introduction, or continued application of more stringent rules on the national level should also be permitted. The Commission, in cooperation with the European Parliament and Council should review the application of this Article with a view to proposing, where appropriate, modifications.

Your Rapporteur considers that sound administrative cooperation and mutual assistance key to the success of the proposed Directive. Whilst your Rapporteur sees the potential of the IMI system for rapid exchange of information which overcomes language barriers, some Member States already have highly effective non-IMI based methods of administrative cooperation. Member States should be free to apply bilateral agreements outside of IMI. Competent Authorities must provide information requested without delay and where information is not available, officially declare the absence of such information.

In order to increase information available to workers, contact details of competent authorities should be publically available. In addition, information on terms and conditions of employment should be generally available, free of charge in a clear, transparent, comprehensive and easily understandable way.

In order to improve the administrative cooperation and mutual assistance, the Commission should present the results of an Impact Assessment on the feasibility of an EU-wide notification or registration system based on and compatible with existing systems in Member States. Secondly, the Commission should propose a European register for serious offenders (a "black list") of companies proven to flout the provisions of 96/71/EC and other relevant Union legislation.

The success of the proposed Enforcement Directive and 96/71/EC depends on not only political will but also on the allocation of sufficient resources which is why your Rapporteur proposes text obliging Member States and Commission to dedicate the necessary resources in order to make proper enforcement of 96/71/EC a reality.

AMENDMENTS

When making such risk assessment the special problems and needs of specific sectors, the past record of infringement, the information provided by social partners on the ground, the practices of circumvention as well as the vulnerability of certain groups of workers should be taken into account.
Amendment  22 Proposal for a directive Recital 18
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(18) To ensure better and more uniform application of Directive 96/71/EC as well as its enforcement in practice, and to reduce, as far as possible, differences in the level of application and enforcement across the Union, Member States should ensure that effective and adequate inspections are carried out on their territory.

Amendment  25 Proposal for a directive Recital 24
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(24) In view of the prevalence of subcontracting in the construction sector, and in order to protect posted workers‘ rights, it is necessary to ensure that in such sector at least the contractor of which the employer is a direct subcontractor can be held liable to pay to posted workers the net minimum rates of pay due, any back-payments of outstanding remuneration and/or contributions due to common funds or institutions of social partners regulated by law or collective agreement in so far as these are covered by Article 3 (1) of Directive 96/71/EC in addition to or in place of the employer.

AMENDMENTS

The Committee on Legal Affairs calls on the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, as the committee responsible, to incorporate the following amendments into its report:

Amendment  1 Proposal for a directive Recital 4
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(4) In order to prevent, avoid and combat circumvention and/or abuse of the applicable rules by companies taking improper or fraudulent advantage of the freedom to provide services enshrined in the Treaty and/or the application of Directive 96/71/EC the implementation and monitoring of the notion of posting should be improved.	(4) In order to prevent, avoid and combat circumvention and/or abuse of the applicable rules by companies taking improper or fraudulent advantage of the freedom to provide services enshrined in the Treaty and/or the application of Directive 96/71/EC the implementation and monitoring of the notion of posting should be improved and more uniform criteria, facilitating a common interpretation, should be introduced at Union level.
Amendment  2 Proposal for a directive Recital 4 a (new)
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
	(4a) All measures introduced by this Directive must be justified, proportionate and non-discriminatory so that they do not create administrative burdens and do not lock the potential that companies, in particular small and medium enterprises, have for creating new jobs, while protecting posted workers.
Amendment  3 Proposal for a directive Recital 6 a (new)
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
	(6a) Competent authorities should make an overall assessment of all factual elements in order to determine whether the worker is genuinely posted.

Amendment  4 Proposal for a directive Recital 13 a (new)
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
	(13a) The next revision of the IMI regulation should take into account the fact that the IMI incorporates what is currently regulated within bilateral agreements.

Amendment  7 Proposal for a directive Recital 16
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(16) In order to ensure the correct application of, and to monitor compliance with, the substantive rules on the terms and conditions of employment to be respected with regard to posted workers, Member States should apply only certain control measures or administrative formalities to undertakings posting workers for the provision of services. Such measures and requirements may only be imposed provided that the competent authorities cannot carry out their supervisory task effectively without the requested information and the necessary information cannot be obtained easily from the employer of posted workers or the authorities in the Member State of establishment of the service provider within a reasonable delay and/or less restrictive measures would not ensure that the objectives of the national controls measures deemed necessary are attained.	(16) In order to ensure the correct application of, and to monitor compliance with, the substantive rules on the terms and conditions of employment to be respected with regard to posted workers, Member States should apply only certain control measures or administrative formalities to undertakings posting workers for the provision of services. For the purpose of legal clarity, possible control measures and requirements should be uniform at Union level and may only be imposed provided that the competent authorities cannot carry out their supervisory task effectively without the requested information and the necessary information cannot be obtained easily from the employer of posted workers or the authorities in the Member State of establishment of the service provider within a reasonable delay and/or less restrictive measures would not ensure that the objectives of the national controls measures deemed necessary are attained.
Amendment  8 Proposal for a directive Recital 22
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(22) Member States are particularly encouraged to introduce a more integrated approach to labour inspections. The need to develop common standards in order to establish comparable methods, practices and minimum standards at Union level should equally be examined.

Amendment  9 Proposal for a directive Recital 24
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(24) In view of the prevalence of subcontracting in the construction sector, and in order to protect posted workers’ rights, it is necessary to ensure that in such sector at least the contractor of which the employer is a direct subcontractor can be held liable to pay to posted workers the net minimum rates of pay due, any back-payments of outstanding remuneration and/or contributions due to common funds or institutions of social partners regulated by law or collective agreement in so far as these are covered by Article 3 (1) of Directive 96/71/EC in addition to or in place of the employer. The contractor shall not be held liable if he/she has undertaken due diligence. The latter may imply preventive measures concerning proof provided by the subcontractor, including where relevant based upon information emanating from national authorities.	(24) In view of the prevalence of subcontracting in the construction sector, and in order to protect posted workers’ rights, it is recommended that in such sector at least the contractor of which the employer is a direct subcontractor can be held liable to pay to posted workers the net minimum rates of pay due, any back-payments of outstanding remuneration and/or contributions due to common funds or institutions of social partners regulated by law or collective agreement in so far as these are covered by Article 3 (1) of Directive 96/71/EC in addition to or in place of the employer.

Amendment  12 Proposal for a directive Recital 27
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(27) The disparities between the systems of the Member States for enforcing imposed administrative fines and/or penalties in cross-border situations are prejudicial to the proper functioning of the internal market and risk making it very difficult, if not impossible, to ensure that posted workers enjoy an equivalent level of protection throughout the Union.	(27) The disparities between the systems of the Member States for enforcing imposed administrative fines and/or penalties in cross-border situations are prejudicial to the proper functioning of the internal market and risk making it very difficult, if not impossible, to ensure that posted workers enjoy an equivalent level of protection throughout the Union. Nevertheless, Member States should ensure that efficient administrative fines and/or penalties to ensure compliance with Directive 96/71/EC and this Directive are provided for.
Amendment  13 Proposal for a directive Recital 32
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(32) Member States should take appropriate measures in the event of failure to comply with the obligations laid down in this Directive, including administrative and judicial procedures, and should provide for effective, dissuasive and proportionate penalties for any breaches of the obligations under this Directive.

Amendment  14 Proposal for a directive Article 1 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
