Ceemet, the European employers’ organisation representing the interests of the metal, engineering and technology industries, called on Member States in an open letter published on Monday 25 May to comply as soon as possible with the provisions of Directive 2018/957 on the posting of workers.
Indeed, in view of the delays in the implementation of the Directive, notably due to the Covid-19 crisis (see EUROPE 12479/30), Diego Andreis, President of Ceemet, calls on all Member States to apply the rules to update their 'single official national websites', also in English. These are websites on the constituent elements of remuneration and other terms and conditions of work and employment governed by national law or by collective agreements applicable to the posting.
Ceemet believes that all Member States should use the same structure in order to facilitate the work of companies, workers and also inspectors. Finally, for the organisation, the European Labour Authority would have a role to play in streamlining national websites. According to Ceemet, companies should not be penalised for unintentional non-compliance, as Member States have not taken adequate measures. (Original version in French by Pascal Hansens)
