On the initiative of the European Commission and in accordance with the will of the State and Government of the EU Member States was in 2019 European labor authority (European Labor Authority, PA) created as a European supervisory and implementation authority. Its purpose is to ensure that the European Union's rules on labor mobility are applied in a fair, simple and effective manner.
tasks
The authority has the following tasks:
- Provide individuals and employers with access to information about their rights and obligations and relevant service providers,
- Promote cross-border cooperation in the cross-border enforcement of relevant EU regulations, including joint on-site investigations,
- act as mediator in disputes between national authorities or in the event of disruptions in the labor market and facilitate solutions.
The ELA is intended to support national authorities. At the same time, it is intended to ensure synergies between existing EU authorities for requirements planning, health and safety at work, restructuring and dealing with undeclared work .
organization
It is planned that the authority will be composed of around 140 employees from the Commission and one to two employees per EU member state. A board of directors consisting of one of the member states and a representative of the Commission takes over the control . The annual budget is around 50 million euros.
history
The establishment of the European Labor Authority was announced by the President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker in September 2017 and, after consultation, the Commission made a legislative proposal on March 13, 2018. It was established by Regulation (EU) 2019/1149. The ELA is part of the so-called European Pillar of Social Rights (ESSR), which was adopted by the heads of state and government of the EU member states at the social summit in November 2017.
The European Labor Authority officially began its work on October 17, 2019 .
