Freedom to supply services and workers' rights: posting of workers

The Council discussed the proposal for a directive concerning the posting of workers in the framework of the provision of services. One problem covered by the discussion was that of the time threshold, i.e. the non-­application to short-term postings of the host MemberState’s provisions regarding the minimum length of paid annual holidays and minimum rates of pay. The Council instructed the Permanent Representatives Committee to continue the discussions and to report back at a meeting in the near future.
